Listening to the citizen voice is what helps to make the Oregon Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan a success.

"Computers for Scaredy Cats." How's that for the name of a computer fundamentals class? Fun titles and easy access are just two of the ways that Bill Thomas, the coordinator for SeniorNet program in San Clemente (Calif.), draws in nervous newbies. "You wouldn't recognize the Cyber Cafe" says Thomas. "It's decorated with lovely scenic paintings by a To-year-old buddy of mine." The San Clemente's Parks and Recreation Department handles the publicity, and volunteers focus on the instruction. What's more, when seniors aren't using the computers, the parks departments provides classes for other residents. "So, as promised, our foundation is fully integrated with SeniorNet, parks and recreation, the Senior Center, the library, and a daycare center for handicapped adults," adds Thomas. Applications for the next round of SeniorNet grants will be available in September.

Expanding opportunities for people with disabilities is one of the goals of the Mainstream Expeditions Cataract Canyon Whitewater Adventure. Another goal is fun. The program, sponsored by NRPA agency member Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and River of Dreams, a nonprofit organization, is in its 12th year, and provides river rafting for adults with disabilities. Past participants have included people with spinal cord injury, life-threatening illness, cognitive delay, burn trauma, depression, head injury; visual or hearing impairment, diabetes, arthritis, amputations and seizure disorders. This year's trip will take place on the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon in southern Utah. A professional river company will host the group, which includes 16 participants (people with disabilities and their friends) and nine support staff. For more information, call 602-262-4553.
