                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 23, 2017

  Mrs. DINGELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the writers and 
staff at the Trenton Trib for their work providing state and local news 
to the Downriver community. The newspaper provides important coverage 
of events and editorial perspectives to Trenton and residents in nearby 
areas.
  Founded in 2010, the Trenton Trib is a monthly newspaper that covers 
current events and distributes information about the City of Trenton 
and the surrounding areas. The newspaper has grown and developed a 
loyal following since its establishment, and today boasts a monthly 
circulation of approximately 10,000 to residents and businesses 
throughout Trenton. The Trib covers local issues, including 
achievements by residents and events like the annual Trenton Summer 
Festival. The paper's columnists, Kathy Kane and Joe Hoshaw, also 
contribute original content and perspectives to provide context to 
issues facing the city. Additionally, the Trib issues an annual 
``Goodfellows'' newspaper whose proceeds provide gifts and food to 
those in need during the holidays. Collectively, these efforts have 
helped inform the public while serving the community at large.
  The Trenton Trib has filled a crucial need in Downriver by providing 
regular community-oriented news to area residents and businesses. The 
monthly publication both informs residents by providing unique local 
coverage and perspectives from Trenton residents and helps address 
issues in the community through its philanthropic initiatives. The 
growth and development of the Trenton Trib has enabled it to provide 
better coverage of area events while increasing circulation to better 
serve the city. The success of the publication is a credit to the hard 
work of the Trib's staff and underscores the continuing demand for 
high-quality local news, and it is my hope that the newspaper continues 
to effectively serve the area's residents in the coming years.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the Trenton 
Trib. The Trib's staff have served the community well through their 
coverage of local news and events.
