A Legend Hunter's Search for Ogopogo the Elusive Creature of Okanagan Lake
by William Steciuk
Kelowna resident Bill Steciuk didn’t believe in Ogopogo. But that was about to change. In October of 1978, while driving across the bridge from the west side of Lake Okanagan, he saw something in the water that made him stop his car. All the traffic behind him also stopped, and he was soon joined at the rail by a small crowd of onlookers, all of whom saw what Bill had seen: a serpentine head with three black humps behind it. They watched the creature for nearly a minute, after which time it disappeared beneath the surface, leaving a substantial wake. Bill knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that he had just seen the legendary lake creature, Ogopogo. Stories of Ogopogo in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley date back several centuries— originating with the Syilx Peoples’ stories of N’ha-a-itk, the sacred spirit of the lake—and sightings are frequent, but the truth about Ogopogo remains elusive. After that day in 1978, Bill dedicated himself to Ogopogo research and exploratory expeditions, in search of answers. What is Ogopogo? An ancient creature from the age of dinosaurs? What are eyewitnesses seeing, and which sightings are genuine? With lucidity and suspense, A Legend Hunter's Search for Ogopogo the Elusive Creature of Okanagan Lake documents the startling findings of a twenty-five-year inquiry into one of the most fascinating cryptozoological mysteries in the world.

Walk With A Purpose
The John Volken Story From Dishwasher to Multi-Millionaire, Then Gave It All Away... by John Volken
Horatio Alger wrote in the nineteenth century about impoverished boys rising from humble backgrounds to lives of achievement through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. Alger should have met John Volken. He would have loved him, as many of us do. John’s story begins as a child in an orphanage in the Soviet Union occupied East Germany, it continues as a young man washing dishes for 25¢ an hour in Canada, and culminates with him amassing a fortune as a businessman… That is where the venerable American writer might have ended this story and where most men would have settled into a life of golf. But that’s exactly where the best and most exciting part of John Volken’s story begins… It’s all here, and then some! David Berner, TV Personality/Author Executive Director Drug Prevention Network of Canada
