Good morning, Port Angeles.

City officials Cory Delikat, Scott Golding, Judith Reandeau Stipe and Steve Zenovic held ceremonial shovels at Chase Street and Lauridsen Boulevard to start the project to restore the 1924 Rayonier #4 locomotive.

The project will repair and repaint the engine — add a protective cover, a log car and a public park using funds raised for the effort.

Registration is now open for the annual Port Angeles Turkey Trot scheduled for Thanksgiving Day.

The event, organized by the Port Angeles Marathon Association, will start at 9:00 a.m. at Hollywood Beach along the Olympic Discovery Trail and will benefit the Port Angeles Food Bank with donation discounts offering $10 off for a $50 donation, $20 off for a $100 donation, and a free entry for a $200 donation.

The federal shutdown is putting Clallam County’s Recompete program at risk since the U.S. Economic Development Administration remains closed—County analyst Angi Klahn said the funding freeze has halted reimbursements and pay for two staff.

The county will pause the program on November 30 if the shutdown continues, with formal notices issued by mid-November.

Clallam County commissioners backed a $5 million grant application by the Composite Recycling Technology Center to build two model structures—one net-zero demonstration home and one emergency shelter using military barracks technology with Makah Tribe Western hemlock.

The county also approved $400,000 for projects in the Health and Human Services Developmental Disabilities department.

Two candidates running for a seat on the Olympic Medical Center board in Hospital District 2 shared plans to stabilize the hospital and maintain local control amid financial challenges — they stressed cautious UW Medicine affiliation and rebuilding trust after state inspections, with ballots due by 8 p.m. on Nov. 4.

The Port Angeles Roughriders will try to secure a second-place playoff tie by winning tonight's road game against Kingston — a win that, along with a Bainbridge victory, would tie them with the Vikings.

Meanwhile, the Sequim Wolves need a win at Bremerton to boost their playoff chance and will follow up with a football game against North Mason on Thursday.
