The Jefferson District Ranger office of the Beaverhead/Deerlodge National Forest in Whitehall is located just north of the interstate on Whitetail Road. District Ranger Grant Godbolt said the Forest Service is interested in relocating to the existing Forest Service Property on Legion Avenue next to the Whitehall A&W. Godbolt noted the reason for the potential move is simple: money.

A benefit dinner and auction to raise funds to help defray the medical cost of seven-month-old C.J. Patritti has been scheduled.
