Charles Jordan (left), director of the Portland Bureau of Parks and Recreation, accepts a check for $25,000 from Kaiser
Permanente's Medical Director Allan Weiland, MD, during recent opening ceremonies for the HMO's newest medical office in
north Portland.
Kaiser Permanente's Executive Director Barbe West (at podium) says the gift will help purchase historical signs
commemorating the vanished Vanport community, built to house thousands of workers in the World War II Kaiser shipyards.
Many Vanport families moved to north Portland when floods destroyed Vanport in 1948.

Thanksgiving Day
■ With Damon
Stoudamire’s Support
his year’s Thanksgiving Day Din­
ner planning doesn’t feel much
different forSt. Andrew’s Catho­
lic Church parishioners: they have hosted
turkey meals with all the trimmings for at
least 200people for the past 12 years, thanks
to a tradition established by a Jesuit volun­
teer. This year, from noon to 3p.m.. food will
again be served, at the Gym, at 806 NE
Aberta. Just as in past years, volunteers will
arrive much earlier, to prepare, cook and
serve those guests who welcome the food
