FORMER CAYUGA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL WRESTLING 2021 HALL OF FAME AUBURN’S JIM CANDALL WORKED AT CAYUGA FOR 29 YEARS AND HAS A DEEP RESUME OF SPORTS-RELATED ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER HIS CAREER.

CCC’s Veterans Club is continuing their annual tradition of honoring those who served by creating informational displays and recreating the Fallen Soldier, POW and MIA table on both campuses.

THE TABLE SET FOR ONE HAS DEEP MEANING FOR VETERANS The Fallen Soldier’s table has a few basic elements, but each display is completely unique. It starts with a small table set for one, symbolizing the isolation of the absent service member. Its seat is empty to bring attention to the missing guest. A white tablecloth symbolizes the pure intentions of the service members, who have responded to our country’s call to arms. A single rose in a vase on top of the tablecloth reminds us of the blood that those service members have shed on our behalf. It also represents the family and friends left keeping the faith, awaiting the return of their loved ones. A slice of lemon or some salt sprinkled on a plate represents the bitter fate of the missing and the tears shed by their families back at home. The glasses are inverted, to recognize that the missing and fallen cannot partake in this meal. The tradition of setting a separate table in honor of our prisoners of war and missing comrades has been in place since the end of the Vietnam War.

He coached wrestling and both indoor and outdoor track and field for Cayuga. “He was really involved in education,” said his daughter and CCC adjunct math teacher Linda Jennings. Jennings recalled that watching the sports that her father coached was something that she really enjoyed, and she remembers fondly. Specifically, she remembered that it was a big deal to be able to roll up the wrestling mats after the meets. “I had the pleasure of teaching while my father was the athletic director there.
