Bowden's replacement will be Bluffton-native Jon Kinn. The new chief is a 1993 Bluffton High School graduate and is employed by Chiles-Laman Funeral Home.
He has served on the fire department for eight years. The most recent two years he was a department captain. Before that he was a department lieutenant, also for two years. He and his wife, Mandy, live at 716 S. Main St.
St. Mary's Catholic Church is hosting Susie Sandager at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 7, to do a presentation called "Corrie Remembers."
Sandager does a one-person presentation of the life of Corrie ten Boom. Corrie was a member of the ten Boom family, a Christian family who hid Jews in the family watch shop during the Holocaust to save them from execution.
The family was later arrested and placed in a concentration camp. Corrie was released nearly miraculously. Admission to the program is free, but a freewill offering will be taken to support the work of Susie Sandager.
