By kate Hill Staff Writer Cazenovia resident Chary Griffin recently represented the United States at the World Triathlon Championship Finals 2024 in Spain. Griffin competed in the Age Group Standard Triathlon and placed third in her women’s 75-79 age group. The championship finals were held in Torremolinos,
a resort town in Andalusia on southern Spain’s Costa del Sol. “The race venue was on a beautiful beach on the Mediterranean Sea with the transition area, expo, and finish line on the other side of the street,” said Griffin. “Over 5,000 triathletes raced, and Team USA was 500 athletes strong. . . . The weather was 75-80 degrees and sunny. That being said, the water was 67 degrees Triathlon l Page 8
First Presbyterian Church highlights Women’s Association

The First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia is celebrating its 225th anniversary this year and highlighting the work and activities of its Women’s Association. By kate Hill Staff Writer In celebration of its 225th anniversary, the First Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia is sharing the history and contributions of its Women’s Association with the community. “Like every church, our population has declined, and it’s really tough to compete with other activities on the weekends, [so] one of the things we are doing is looking at the past, where we are now, and where we would like to go in the future,” said Women’s Association member BJ Palmer, who added that the church is currently going through a reorganization. “[I] think
it’s true that in most organizations, it’s the women who sort of drive the direction or at least the support underneath, and that is what it has been like for this church.” As part of the effort to spread the word about its Women’s Association, the church plans to post a link to its bicentennial cookbook on its website. According to Palmer, the cookbook was inspired by a potluck brunch at the church. “There were a few items on the table that [people] had never had before, and they said, ‘We need the recipe for this,’ so this cookbook came out of it,” Palmer said.
