By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Bruce Peacock of Leamington has had many travels during his life, but none like the journey he’s been on to write his first novel. Peacock’s 98-page paperback, called ‘The Answer’, takes readers on a journey of their own, as a group of old college buddies decide to invent a remote underwater explorer. The group gets hired to do some salvage work in the ocean and that’s when things get interesting as unknown beings and underwater cities take over from there. “I’ve been working on it for 40 years,” said Peacock recently. “I decided during the pandemic to sit down and get it done.” Peacock cites his interest in science fiction and his inquisitive nature as the reasons for writing the story. “There are many mysteries BRUCE PEACOCK of earth that do not seem to fit with the time,” he says. “Be it physical or written, they are things that science cannot find a simple explanation for.”
Peacock has taken many of these unsolved questions and put them in a logical order and adds another explanation that could be ‘The Answer.’ Peacock can be reached at bap51@yahoo.com if you’d like to order a copy of his book.

REGIONAL – Thanks to a new partnership, families receiving support at Erie Shores Hospice will enjoy home-cooked meals featuring fresh local produce. Lee and Maria’s and Libro Credit Union have launched a partnership to provide produce boxes delivered free of charge weekly to the Erie Shores location of The Hospice of Windsor and Essex County. Hospice volunteers can then turn the seasonal fruits and vegetables into meals for families with patients at the hospice. The roughly $1,200 donation is part of Lee and Maria’s Sponsor-aBox program, which sees weekly customized produce boxes delivered to non-profit organizations across Windsor-Essex. “Libro Credit Union
is passionate about supporting our communities – that is the essence of who we are at Libro,” said Lori Atkinson, Regional Manager, Community Banking at Libro Credit Union. “Traditionally, our subscription box members contribute to these donations, but thanks to the generosity of Libro Credit Union, we’re able to extend our support to The Hospice, Erie Shores Campus, a very deserving organization,” said Kathy Mastronardi-Black, Vice President of Market and Wholesale Sales for Lee and Maria’s. The donation will see produce from over 20 farms across Windsor-Essex, and Chatham-Kent delivered to hospice.
