Gay Men Aroused by Sweet Smell of Sweat Brain waves: Gay men aroused by Vol. XIV, No. 6 Serving the Gay and Lesbian Community of the Inland Northwest June 2005 sweet smell of sweat Floating on Cloud 9 compiled from various reports STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Research- ers here have discovered what gay men have known, at least subconsciously, for a long, long time – that a section of the brain that may be linked to sexual arousal responds to male aromas. What gay men either didn’t realize or didn’t care about is that their reactions were different from straight men. Swedish neuroscientists, using chemical scents extracted from male and female sex hormones, last month reported findings that show the hypo- thalamus region of the brain responded Study by Swedish neuroscientists gives credence to gay-at-birth theory in a similar way in separate groups of gay men and heterosexual women af- ter both groups sampled odors obtained from male perspiration. staff photo Brain functions of the study subjects Members of Odyssey Youth Center applied their painting and carpentry skills in late May to construct the first motorized were examined through positron emis- float ever included in Spokane’s annual Pride Parade.

  • Background and History Water Management of Okanagan Lake
    tzt @ Background and History of Water Management of Okanagan Lake and River Prepared by: B.J. $ym_gnds-, P. Eng. Water Management Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks Penticton. BC Since the early 1900's people have regulated the level and discharge of Okanagan Lake. These efforts have led to the development of the current system of dams and channelized reaches of river which control the waters from Okanagan Lake to Osoyoos Lake. The management of lake levels and flows has been controversial from the outset. Although early efforts at controlling Okanagan Lake were exclusively directed at improving navigation capability between Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, others interests soon surfaced. The first of these interests included the maintenance of minimum lake levels for navigation in shallow areas around the lake and a desire to reduce flood levels in Kelowna and other low lying areas. Following a prolonged drought between 1929- 1931 the value of the lake as a storage reservoir to support irrigation was also recognized. Still later fisheries, tourism and recreational interest began to receive consideration in the development of water management strategies. Even now, some 90 years since the initial efforts were made to manage Okanagan Lake and River and despite several attempts at consultation to reach agreement on the management of the lake, the regulation of the system remains controversial. Pre-Development Lake Levels : Very little data is available on the natural range of Okanagan Lake levels and outflows prior to regulation, although there are some anecdotal observations. About 1908 a request was made to the federal government for improvements to the channel of Okanagan River to permit small shallow draught vessels to operate between Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake.

  • Steamboats on Okanagan Lake
    Photo courtesy of Kelowna Museum Steamboats On Okanagan Lake Okanagan History Vignette 33 Okanagan men going off to war S.S. Sicamous departs from Okanagan Landing during World War I Photo courtesy Kelowna Museum 34 STEAMBOATS ON OKANAGAN LAKE The Importance of Water Travel Lakes, rivers, and oceans have been important for thousands of years. People have used waterways as a means of exploration and transportation. Exploration opened up new lands. Often, new settlements were built near waterways. Once people settled in new areas, they needed a way to get supplies in and trade goods out. This need for transportation was true on Okanagan Lake in the late 1800s. There were not many white people in the Okanagan Valley at that time because there was not an efficient transportation system in place. But as more commercial boats travelled on Okanagan Lake, more people settled on the lake’s shore. Water transportation helped to settle the Okanagan Valley. Dawn of the Steamboats The S.S. Aberdeen and the S.S. Okanagan were the first Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) sternwheelers on Okanagan Lake. S.S. stands for steamship. The CPR sternwheelers used steam power to drive the large paddlewheels at the back, or stern, of the boats. These boats were also called paddlewheelers because of the large paddlewheels. The sternwheelers were used to transport people, food, supplies, tools, clothes, and mail. They also carried horses, cattle, and 35 machinery. They were a very important means of transportation in the Okanagan Valley. The CPR built the Aberdeen and the Okanagan because there was a need for regular transportation from Okanagan Landing, which was at the end of the Shuswap & Okanagan Railway line, to Penticton at the south end of Okanagan Lake.
