T he seas off the Oregon Coast are brutal in the winter often bringing storm watchers from around the world to take in the magnificence of the wild Pacific Ocean, but this winter has not been especially rough compared to say the winter of 1998-1999 which pounded Oregon with five tremendous storms which experts considered 100-year events and eroded as much as 120 feet of beach in places.
Even that winter did not reveal the treasures hidden in the sand that this winter has. So far the beach erosion in recent weeks has uncovered three ships and two cannons with more artifacts being found nearly everyday, artifacts that have not been seen for a century or more. Archaeologists can not get to the historic relics fast enough.

Oregon’s law requires the state to rebate taxpayers when tax collections are above projections by more than 2 percent. The state is refunding $1.1 billion in rebates.
Typical with any government entity, all has not gone smoothly though. Many residents counting on the “kicker” checks to be in time for Christmas found out that theirs had mistakenly been sent to charities and they are waiting to hear if they will get them back. While approximately 12,000 people chose to send their rebate checks to charities totaling about $6.7 million.
