Week of state truck scale inspections in Mills County
Unannounced state inspectors spent a week in southwest Iowa conducting a comprehensive truck traffic check from the junction of highways 276 and 34 with portable scales dispatched across the area. Local Malvern notes include staff omissions at the school and sidewalk updates, plus a visit from Otis Norris and wife to reconnect with former residents. A buried tombstone found in a chicken house foundation near the Breeze Knight property sparked questions about possible historical mislettering and a potential infant Ward burial.
