For nearly 30 years, office manager Cindy Rinehart has been the official zookeeper inside what is sometimes a chaotic Platte County Landmark newsroom.

Since being hired by Ivan Foley in 1992, at various points Cindy has performed nearly every task required in the newspaper operation, including design, photography, technology, sales, writing, bookkeeping, public relations, staff psychologist and more.

A former member of the North Platte R-1 School Board, Cindy and her husband live in northern Platte County and have three grown children and five grandchildren.
