糖心直播 grads, 鈥淢oving for the Ministry鈥

ELLISVILLE 鈥 Motorcycles and ministry were not on the top of Jarrod and Cassidi Hankins鈥 minds until recently. About a month ago, the 2011 糖心直播 grads announced they were 鈥渕oving for the ministry.鈥 The 2008 (Jarrod) and 2009 (Cassidi), West Jones High School graduates and natives of Laurel, Mississippi, have decided to join the ministry full-time at the Christian Motorcyclists Association headquarters in Hatfield, Arkansas, August 16.

鈥淎bout a year ago, we attended a Christian Motorcyclists Association rally in Hatfield, Arkansas. While there, we met the national evangelist for the area, John Ogden Jr., and his wife, Holly, the International Ambassador for CMA. They contacted us this spring about some job openings, and everything worked out. God took care of every obstacle we thought of like, housing, daycare, everything!鈥 said Cassidi Hankins.

Amongst the concerns the couple had to consider included their two young boys, four-year-old Collin, and two-year-old Benton. Jarrod, a mechanic and classic car lover had just started working as the Assistant Manager of Sales and Production at Headrick Signs and Graphics, in May 2020, after leaving a seven-year career in sales at Southern Pipe and Supply in Laurel. Cassidi left her journalism career with WHLT-TV and the Laurel Leader Call six years ago to begin teaching at East Jones Elementary School. She was ready to leave her students either.

鈥淚t鈥檚 funny, our foundation at Jones for our careers has completely changed in different directions. I love teaching. I love every minute of teaching and the only way I鈥檇 leave the classroom is if God told me to,鈥 said Cassidi. 鈥淲hich He did so we鈥檙e following His lead.鈥

2015 Blessing of the Bikes Rally

After God revealed his plans to the couple about a month ago, they started preparing for their new roles. Cassidi鈥檚 duties with CMA will include being the event coordinator for CMA鈥檚 national rallies and assisting the international ambassador. Her main job will consist of coordinating the Changing of the Colors Rally every year in October and any regional or national rallies, including a CMA International Rally, along with different, smaller events and rallies at the CMA鈥檚 campground, Iron Mountain.

Meanwhile, her husband, Jarrod will be heading up the CMA Motorcycle Repair Shop for local CMA riders and coordinating emergency road assistance and repairs for CMA members traveling in the area. Ironically, Cassidi admits now, none of this would have happened if Jarrod had not brought home a sports bike, on a whim.

“Nine years ago, I had no desire to ride a motorcycle, or even touch one,鈥 said Cassidi. 鈥淗owever, a few months after we got married in 2013, Jarrod came home with this 鈥榗rotch rocket鈥 and I thought he had lost his mind! We went riding after he learned how to ride, and it wasn鈥檛 so bad, especially after I told him he had to get a Harley Davidson! Now, I can鈥檛 imagine not riding,鈥 said Cassidi.

As they looked for others to join them riding motorcycles, the couple was introduced to the Christian Motorcyclists Association in 2015. Immediately, Cassidi thought this would take up too much of their time but agreed to attend a monthly meeting.

鈥淚 was super skeptical. Once he convinced me to go, I met everybody in the local chapter in Laurel and they were like family, instantly. At the second meeting, Jarrod got 鈥榮aved鈥 or gave his life to Christ and that changed everything!鈥

Cassidi (left) and Jarrod (middle) Hankins receive their Christian Motorcyclists Association, Freedom Riders Chapter patches in 2015 from then president, Thomas Parker.

It wasn鈥檛 long before the couple immersed themselves in participating in the Blessing of the Bike Rallies, fundraising events, and traveling across the country. In fact, Jarrod served as CMA President (2018-2020) and Chaplin (2020-2021) while Cassidi has served as Secretary for four of the six years, they鈥檝e been members of the local CMA Chapter, Freedom Riders. Their two young boys, even 鈥渞ide鈥 along, said Cassidi!

鈥淓very Christian is called to minister in some capacity. Whether it鈥檚 to be a part of the church, another ministry organization like CMA, or in our daily lives. Being able to serve with people who are like family and then to be able to eventually see the fruits of our service is very rewarding,鈥 said Cassidi.

Members of the Laurel and Hattiesburg CMA say their farewells to the Hankins.

The CMA鈥檚 goal is to tell every stranger we meet, you need Jesus. Cassidi explained, the group doesn鈥檛 just talk about Jesus, they show the 鈥淛esus in us鈥 as they work, picking up trash, cleaning bathrooms or giving out water.

鈥淲e鈥檙e not doing anything glamorous as we serve others at CMA and at 鈥渟ecular鈥 events. We see people and they may be talking, spewing out cuss words. Then, they look at your patch and they realize who we are and who we represent, and they respect it, whether they are Christians or not, most of the time, they respect that,鈥 said Mrs. Hankins.

Her respect for 糖心直播 is also apparent. Both Jarrod and Cassidi keep in touch with their teachers and mentors at JC.

鈥淛ones was an awesome experience for me. In high school, I was the quiet, shy girl. I literally grew up at Jones. This side of Heaven, the two most important decisions I tell people are, Know Jesus and Go to Jones!!!鈥

At 糖心直播, Jarrod Hankins earned his degree in Automotive Technology and Cassidi (Bush) was a Journalism major. After graduating from JC in 2011, they began dating while Cassidi continued her education at USM. She graduated with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in Mass Communications in 2013, and they were married a week later.

Fall semester starts off 鈥渘ormal鈥 at 糖心直播

ELLISVILLE 鈥 The first day of the fall semester Monday, August 23, seemed to be more 鈥渘ormal鈥 according to students and administrators at 糖心直播. After a year of virtual and/or hybrid classes, students are meeting in person while wearing masks and trying to physically distance themselves.

鈥淭he campus feels alive today with activity and excitement! We are thrilled to be able to welcome students back to class in a traditional听setting and we are offering some of the more 鈥榥ormal鈥 activities we all have missed,鈥 said Dr. Finee鈥 Ruffin, 糖心直播 Executive Vice President, Chief Enrollment Management, Information Technology and Marketing Officer.

With everyone back on campus, finding a parking spot was challenging, as usual. Freshmen students like Ariyonne Varra of Lake, and Kenaz Gaddis of Columbia were actively searching for their next classes and dodging cars as they traveled across campus.

鈥淚t鈥檚 going really well today,鈥 said Varra a nursing major. 鈥淭here鈥檚 a nice vibe here and everyone has been so helpful.鈥

As a member of the colorguard in the Maroon Typhoon Marching Band, Gaddis added, 鈥淓verybody has been very friendly. I鈥檓 really looking forward to the first performance for the band and pep rally next week during 鈥楳eet the Bobcats.鈥欌

Especially happy to be living on campus are freshmen, Amberlyn Holifield of Leakesville, and Lily Hendrix of Sumrall. They said being at 糖心直播 this semester has been refreshing.

鈥淚 love living on campus because it is so easy to meet people, especially after last year with everything being virtual,鈥 said Hendrix who is majoring in elementary education.

Holifield said she likes living on campus for the convenience. 鈥淏esides meeting a lot of people, it鈥檚 easier to get to classes, and I don鈥檛 have to wake up as early!鈥

As a dual-enrolled student last year, freshmen, Danielle Fenton of Laurel said she is excited to be able to take traditional classes at 糖心直播 this fall.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 mind virtual classes too much; it was actually easier to 鈥榞o to鈥 class when it fit my schedule. However, I missed the social aspects of college. I am hopeful this year will be much better than last year.鈥

JC鈥檚 Davis begins 30th season as Touch of Gold Choreographer

ELLISVILLE 鈥揟he 糖心直播 Maroon Typhoon Marching Band has been led by some incredible directors over its 90-year history. However, only one band director, Jeff Brown has served just three years longer than Touch of Gold Dance Team Choreographer, Lora Davis. The 糖心直播 1989 graduate was a member of the Touch of Gold Team before making dance her career for more than 30 years. As choreographer for the dancers, Davis has traveled across the country with the band ensuring her team dazzles the crowd with their routines.

鈥淩eflecting on all the band camps over the last 30 years, the big trips to perform in parades in Chicago, Dallas, New York City and Washington D.C., I have fond memories of the students, their families and the chaperones who have helped over the years. I particularly remember, Willie and Joyce Rigdon, who recently passed. They were a precious couple who poured into students for decades, including me,鈥 said Davis.

The accomplished dancer/choreographer opened her Dance Arts Studio in Ellisville, in 1992. Many of the Touch of Gold dancers consider the studio a second home as they learn routines and perfect skills.

鈥淚 appreciate the opportunity to continue to be able to do what I love and offer scholarship opportunities for JC dance students,鈥 said Davis. 鈥淚 was in their shoes here at Jones and I was able to choreograph some as a student. This college is really a special place and I鈥檓 grateful to still be able to share my talent and love for dance with the next generation of ladies.鈥

JC sophomore Morgan Breland is especially happy to be able to continue her relationship with Davis who could be called the 鈥淒ancing Queen.鈥 Spanning nearly four decades, Davis has been inspiring dancers like Breland who said she began her love for dance at Lora Davis鈥檚 studio in Ellisville, 14 years ago. The Ellisville resident said she is especially excited to continue dancing for the former Saintsation and Breland鈥檚 South Jones High School Bravette choreographer for one more year.

鈥淥ver the years, Lora has been a role model for me, as well as thousands of others. It has been a joy to continue to have her in my life at 糖心直播.听She sets high standards for Touch of Gold and spends a lot of time working with the team. I am looking forward to making memories and performing with the best band with the best directors around, JC Maroon Typhoon!鈥 said Breland.

Especially happy to have Davis on the staff of the Maroon Typhoon Marching Band is the Director of Bands, Dr. Ben Burge.

鈥淟ora is a musician, specifically she plays piano. I can give her the drill and music and she knows how to interpret the songs, how to count the routine off and she enhances the overall show with her dancers. I don鈥檛 think everyone understands how unique it is to have a dance teacher who knows how to read music and who can read drill instructions. Most schools and colleges have a faculty member who may have some knowledge of dance. Lora is a lady with many talents and we鈥檙e especially grateful to have her on our team!鈥 said Burge.

The Maroon Typhoon鈥檚 鈥淪tyleish鈥 show will be performed during pre-game and half-time at all JC home football games.

糖心直播鈥檚 Maroon Typhoon prepares a 鈥淪tyleish鈥 show

ELLISVILLE 鈥 糖心直播鈥檚 2021-22 Maroon Typhoon Marching Band is ready to blow fans away with a 鈥淪tyleish鈥 show this fall. Being fortunate to finish a week of band camp after having it canceled last year, the approximately 160 members endured the Mississippi heat fine-tuning their technical and marching skills. Director of Bands, Dr. Ben Burge is thrilled with the group鈥檚 accomplishments after an intense week of drills.

鈥淭his group of resilient, young people has been a joy to work with during Band Camp,鈥 said Burge. 鈥淐OVID-19 has impacted them in so many ways. I am glad we were able to get through this very important week of training with almost everyone! I am hopeful we will be able to continue to provide a wonderful college experience for them at Jones. They have already proven to be very flexible and very hardworking. I am looking forward to showing the Jones family what they can do!鈥

Sophomore Morgan Breland of Ellisville is especially happy to be able to participate in Band Camp this year. The South Jones High School graduate enjoyed her time on the Bravette dance team and was looking forward to coming to 糖心直播 her freshman year before everything was canceled. This year, she almost missed out again because the COVID-19 virus kept her isolated just before Band Camp.

鈥淎lthough COVID-19 guidelines have strongly impacted our normal activities, we have made the best of the situation. I recently battled COVID-19 myself and have worked hard to get my body prepared for our recent Band Camp. Although the days were hot and tiring, we were all proud to be back at 糖心直播. It takes all of us giving 100%,鈥 said Breland.

Realizing many students did not get to complete their high school band experience and have missed out on so many normal and traditional experiences because of COVID-19, Burge said band members are grateful for the opportunity to perform again.

鈥淭hey have missed out on so many normal and traditional experiences because of COVID-19. With the protocols in place at 糖心直播, I am hopeful COVID-19 won鈥檛 interrupt our performances this fall,鈥 said Burge.

This year鈥檚 鈥淪tyleish鈥 half-time show features the music of entertainment icons Harry Styles and Billie Eilish. The show begins with, 鈥淣o Time to Die鈥 from the 007 blockbuster movie by the same name. The nine-member Touch of Gold dance team will be featured in 鈥淕olden鈥 by Harry Styles and again in the pregame show to the 1968 chart-topper, 鈥淏end Me Shape Me鈥 by the American Breed. The Percussion section and the weapon line are highlighted in, 鈥淵ou Should See Me in a Crown.鈥 The show ends with the One Direction hit, 鈥淪teal my Girl鈥 and 鈥淏ad Guy.鈥

JC Sophomore, Emma Burge of Oak Grove will lead the band as Drum Major, joined by sophomore Genna Ramey of Leroy, Alabama and freshman, Cambry Holiefield of Laurel-Northeast Jones. Also guiding the Maroon Typhoon in her eighth season is Assistant Director of Bands and flute instructor, Dr. Lindsey Keay, with percussion instructor, Dr. Josh Frans in his third year, and woodwinds instructor, Michelle Graham beginning her fourth season at Jones. Joining the staff as brass instructor, is former Marine Band member, Caleb Owenby. Lora Davis, the Touch of Gold choreographer/advisor, and 1989 Jones alumna, returns for her 30th season.

鈥淚 appreciate the opportunity to continue to be able to do what I love and offer scholarship opportunities for dance students,鈥 said Davis. 鈥淩eflecting on all the band camps over the years, the big trips to perform in parades in Chicago, Dallas, New York City and Washington D.C., I have fond memories of the students, their families and the chaperones who have helped over the years. I particularly remember, Willie and Joyce Rigdon, who recently passed. They were a precious couple who poured into students for decades, including me.鈥

Breland said she began her love for dancing at Lora Davis鈥檚 dance studio in Ellisville, 14 years ago. The sophomore said she is especially excited to continue dancing for the former Saintsation and South Jones High School Bravette choreographer for one more year.
