Wheeler – Oregon’s Hampton Lumber has made an extraordinary contribution to the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy by donating the dimension lumber needed to construct the 16,000 square foot facility in Wheeler, Oregon.
The new medical center and pharmacy is under construction with an expected completion in September 2025. The new Health Center will replace and dramatically upgrade an aging and too small clinic that has served the community since the 1980’s.
“This is simply an extraordinary contribution from Hampton Lumber to our project and to the community,” said Marc C. Johnson, president of the Nehalem Bay Health District, the owner and developer of the new Health Center. “On behalf of our board of directors and our community we say – thank you so very much to the management and workforce at Hampton Lumber. We could not be more grateful for this generosity.”
The value of the donated material is in excess of $50,000.
“We’re proud to produce building materials from responsibly-managed forests here on Oregon’s North Coast,” said Kristin Rasmussen, Director of Public Affairs and Communications for Hampton Lumber. “It’s particularly rewarding to see our products contribute to essential infrastructure projects in local communities.”
Hampton Lumber’s gift allows the Health District to conserve some portion of the bond funds approved by District voters in 2023 in order facilitate other District priorities, including the ongoing renovation of the Nehalem Valley Care Center, a skilled nursing facility in Wheeler and the eventual development of workforce housing for health care and other essential workers.
Johnson said he hopes that other firms and individuals will follow Hampton Lumber’s generous lead and consider donations to the Health District’s projects dedicated to improving health and senior care on the north coast.
Johnson said the Hampton Lumber contribution is also significant in that it means the new facility will be constructed with timber grown and manufactured near the new facility. The lumber used on the project will be processed Hampton Lumber’s mill in Warrenton, Oregon.
They will be at the Offshore Grill & Coffee House at 9am for the monthly Coffee with the City.
The Offshore Grill & Coffee house is located at 154 Laneda Ave, Manzanita, OR 97130
We look forward to seeing you!

The topic is plant pathogens.
Are any of you gardeners having trouble with a specific plant? Can’t figure out what is wrong with it? Well…..this month’s topic is plant pathogens! We’ll watch a short video and then discuss any of the problems you may be having with your plants. So bring your questions or examples of sick leaves/stems etc and between all of our collective intelligence (ha, ha, ha) we’ll try to figure out solutions! If you have favorite books on plant diseases, feel free to bring them to. See you at the meeting.
Dear Friends and Wheeler neighbors,
As some of you may know I will not be seeking re-election as your mayor this November. But, my heart and mind will always be thinking about our fair city. I want to do what I can to ensure a bright future for Wheeler. To that end I am enthusiastically endorsing Mary Leverette for City Council. She is a dedicated volunteer for our city and has proven her devotion and value through thousands of hours of service.
Mary has attended almost every Council meeting over the past two years. She listens and asks critical questions. She asks for clarification of difficult issues. For three years she has coordinated the Annual Wheeler Cleanup Day — it’s no small feat lining up haulers and volunteers to make the effort a success.
Mary is also on the City’s Emergency Preparedness Committee. She recently held a number of meetings to familiarize neighbors with the local emergency supplies and to inspire us to begin setting up our own emergency plans. The meetings had a greater goal: to urge neighbors to get to know one another — surely a good thing to do in any circumstance.
Mary is working hard to create community and unity. She will be an advocate for Wheeler. She will work to understand the challenging issues. She will make her voice heard when questions need to be asked. I trust that she will work to make Wheeler a better, safer place to live, work and visit.
I’m voting for Mary Leverette for Wheeler City Council, and I humbly ask you to join me. Let’s make sure Wheeler is in good hands.
Clif Kemp, Mayor of the City of Wheeler
