Flight attendants quickly responded to the situation, calling for any medical professionals on board to assist. Despite the presence of several doctors and nurses among the passengers, the individual's condition deteriorated rapidly, and efforts to stabilize them were unsuccessful.If there was something that embodied the idea of “Community Giving” it would have to be, for me, what goes on just prior to Thanksgiving at Our Lady of Peace Parish Hall adjacent to St. Francis Church in Geneva. Literally dozens, maybe in total of over 100 people volunteer their time and contribute in some way to make the Thanksgiving Dinners Project a success. Dare I say this year’s was its biggest yet. About 400 boxes were distributed that fed over 2000 food-insecure people. Leading the effort is Joan Leonard, Coordinator, Social Services Ministry for the Our Lady of Peace Parish and part of the Rochester Diocese. After a long career in the teaching profession she retired in June of 2022. That lasted...one month. That is when she took on this current position that is part-time on paper but a full-time in getting it done. Her position allows her to make contact with many of the most vulnerable families in the area. The Thanksgiving Dinner Project has been going on for over 30 years with many thanks needed to be offered to the congregation of the church who year-round donate items and money for the cause. What Leonard has done, the past three years, is streamline to point that more people are being helped in a very organized, private and dignified manner. That was done by coordinating with various agencies who compiled names and instead of individuals or families coming to pick up a box, the agencies do and disperse back at their locations. Some of the local corporate and community partners who assisted this year with food, personal care kits, and monetary donations, included: Knights of Columbus, Red Jacket Orchards (apples), Sauders (onions), LAW-NY (SNAP nutrition totes), WalMart, and Wegmans. H.R. Richardson and Sons (HRS) Utilities donated the amazing number of 375 turkeys, something that last year the parish shelled out $8000 for from the donations received. Seneca Foods also contributed a large amount of vegetable products. The United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes donated hundreds of "personal care kits" with a long list of 20 items that included a backpack, shampoo, baby wipes, socks, gloves and much more. The list is long but worth sharing of others who gave their time, money etc.. They include parishioners (donated turkeys and finances), teens from the GHS Rotary Interact Club and the Our Lady of Peace Religious Ed program, Troop members from the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts (collected food), many of whom helped fill the dinner boxes and in some cases, delivered them too. Additional assistance and support came from Father Mull, Father Carlos, and Our Lady of Peace Office Staff and Men of Peace, GenevaReads (books), Pedulla’s Liquor Store and Ravine’s Winery donated boxes and numerous selfless volunteers who were on hand throughout the duration of this hefty project. A project takes a year to plan and execute. Tara Farnan, Victor Burgos, Sister Kay, and Sally Muller helped with the Spanish translation, tweek the menu to accommodate many of the hispanic families and assist with deliveries. Benefiting from all this generosity are people from Geneva public and private schools, Our Lady of Peace Parish, those who come through the Office of Social Ministry, farm and agricultural workers from area farms, and newly arrived immigrants.

In the face of sluggish global trade, China has introduced a series of measures to ensure steady import and export growth and help drive economic recovery this year. In the first 10 months, China’s total foreign trade value amounted to 36 trillion yuan ($4.96 trillion), representing a 5.2 percent year-on-year increase, and its export share in the global market also remained largely stable. At a news conference last Friday, Vice-Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen said China’s foreign trade had continued to show a positive trend, characterized by improved quality and stable volume growth. However, as a backlash against globalization and rising protectionism dampen prospects of global trade, China’s foreign trade growth has also softened since August. An official investigation has also found multiple difficulties confronting trade enterprises, from export credit insurance to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises and shipping logistics. To address these challenges, the Chinese government has intensified moves to bolster foreign trade. Last Thursday, the Ministry of Commerce published a notice focused on measures to strengthen financial support for businesses engaged in international trade, foster new trade drivers such as e-commerce and green trade, and enhance services including favorable visa policies for businesspersons. Insurance companies are encouraged to increase underwriting support for “little giant” and “hidden champion” firms in their efforts to explore diversified markets, the notice said. “Little giants” refer to the novel elites among SMEs engaged in manufacturing, specializing in a niche market and boasting cutting-edge technologies. “Hidden champions” are highly successful yet lesser-known firms. Financial institutions should optimize financial services for foreign trade enterprises in areas such as credit approval, loan disbursement and repayment, said the notice. The central bank has continuously guided financing into equipment upgrades and green transformation of foreign trade companies and related logistics sectors, Liu Ye, an official of the People’s Bank of China, said at the news conference. The country’s outstanding green loans increased 25 percent year-on-year at the end of September. The latest policy support emphasized e-commerce and green trade as burgeoning new growth drivers of China’s foreign trade. The e-commerce sector, which features customized services, fast delivery and low costs, is highly competitive, Wang said at the news conference. In the first three quarters, China’s e-commerce imports and exports reported a vibrant 11.5 percent year-on-year increase, accounting for nearly 6 percent of total foreign trade. In the next step, China will help foreign trade companies better align with overseas intelligent logistics platforms and secure overseas orders, as well as deepen international e-commerce cooperation, including e-commerce in new bilateral free trade agreements, Wang said. Regarding green trade, the commerce ministry will roll out a special policy document to create a sound environment, enhance services and training for related businesses, and expand international green cooperation. Convenient cross-border travel comes as another important aspect of the trade facilitation measures. At the news conference, Tong Xuejun, an official with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said China had implemented unilateral visa-free policies for 29 countries, including France and Germany, and had achieved full visa exemption for 25 countries. In the third quarter, China recorded 8.19 million inbound trips by foreigners, an increase of 48.8 percent compared to the same period last year. According to the official, 4.89 million of these trips were made through visa-free arrangements, up 78.6 percent year-on-year. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to refine the visa-free entry policy to facilitate cross-border travel, especially for those engaged in business activities, said Tong.
