Cheryl Maxwell
Copy Editor

Cheryl Maxwell, daughter of owners Randy and Ingrid Buehler, has been working with The Polk County News in some capacity since her parents purchased the paper in 1983, when she was in the fifth grade. Cheryl would walk down to the paper from Benton Elementary School to wash dishes or otherwise make herself useful. She dabbled in sports photography while attending Polk County High School and has since explored nearly every aspect of the local newspaper business, including paste-up, reporting, ad sales and production.
Cheryl's current duties include editing the Polk County News' special sections, such as the Holiday Recipe Guide, Home Improvement, Bridal and Health sections, as well as editing copy and processing pictures for the weekly paper. She is also Circulation Manager. Cheryl has recently taken steps to learn the business and accounting side of newspaper management in hopes to one day allow her parents to retire.
"I love small-town living. I can't imagine ever being anywhere else but here. It's amazing to be a part of the history of an entire county."
Cheryl is married to V.J. Maxwell and resides in Delano.
