Steve: Most of what you state is correct. It was Zelda, she was a witchy woman and got Killer Glowaski, the Astlefords, the Mankus' and a few others to abandon ship which I had put together. She snookered them like a saloon lady on Gunsmoke, but they found out she was just using them.. Only Killer had the guilt to apologize to me and stated he was sorry he strayed. We finally found Nancy Wall Glowaski to run against Zelda and thank God, she beat her. Broke Zelda's ego to pieces and there was nothing she could do about it.
Orr could have made it, since their operating costs were manageable. Nett Lake students, who tuition in to the Orr School, were experiencing an increase in numbers. However, Nett Lake has their own elementary, Orr K-6 numbers didn't look good, but the school could have made it.
There were political pressures, both from Dougie Johnson and Tom Bakk, to send the Orr kids to the Cook school and that upset people from Orr.
There will be other businesses in Orr and Cook that will fold within the next couple years. One, because of decreased traffic in the business district. But mostly, the owners that are operating the businesses have little to no retail merchanising skills, nor do they wish to acquire them. That leaves people from the outside to consider buying some of the businesses, bringing with them capital and retail/customer service skills with them. I would like to see it happen, but without schools in town, that likelihood doesn't seem promising.
