Robbie House is in her fourth decade of learning and teaching martial arts in Philipsburg.
Answering the call of the roar of the Tiger
It’s the payback that keeps her involved. Parents of her former students approach her on a regular basis to tell her that their child’s involvement in martial arts changed their lives. That’s difficult to see at first. But twice a week she and her students meet, with some help from the Philipsburg Schools, which provides free use of a gymnasium, and her fellow black belts, Leslie Seward, Ron Handlos and Sean Graybeal.
Childcare blues
“There is definitely a desperation,” said Beth White, a childcare provider in Philipsburg, “I have families on wait lists calling constantly and I feel for those people. I hate to say no, but I am maxed out, so I just have to wonder what they are doing.” The Philipsburg Rotary Club is working on a solution according to Rotarian Jim Jenner who helped organize a meeting to address the problem last Monday at the high school.
Drummond rallies for wounded Trooper
The residents of Drummond are rallying to support Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Wade Palmer. The school, which Palmer attended as a youth, is having a “Back the Blue by wearing green,” day today. “Everyone is encouraged to wear green on Thursday, March 28 to show support for Trooper Wade Palmer and his family, as well as all other law enforcement personnel,” Jodi Oberweiser told the Mail. “It has really shaken our community,” Oberweiser said, adding that her husband, Jim, was one of Palmer’s coaches and teachers there.
