Outdoors - StatesmanJournal.com: "For the time being, Oregon has a new state champion Sitka spruce.

But there's a challenger lurking in the coastal forests of Lincoln County, and it will be a couple of weeks before managers of Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge can rest assured that their giant spruce is the biggest in the state.

The scramble to find a state champ started Dec. 2 when the reigning world champion, the Klootchy Creek Spruce near Cannon Beach, was blown down in a windstorm and one of the top contenders also was knocked out of contention."
