Through the nearly nine months of this COVID-19 pandemic, Kiowa County has dodged most of the terrible ravages of the disease. There were not many cases, no hospitalizations and thankfully, no deaths. But last Monday all that changed as the county learned it had its first COVID-19 death. This news was terrible enough, but when we learned we had lost our longtime County Commissioner Richard “Dick” Scott to complications from the virus, the shock that resonated across the county and through southeastern Colorado was palpable.
