  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cynthia Canty 
for her exemplary service as a radio and TV host. Her continued 
dedication to journalism is worthy of commendation.
  A lifelong resident of Detroit, Cynthia Canty is the host of Michigan 
Radio's Stateside talk show and has dedicated her life to journalism in 
a career spanning over 40 years. Prior to working at Michigan Radio, 
she was a television news anchor, producer, and radio host in the 
Detroit area. In her various roles, she has interviewed numerous 
influential figures including governors, authors, musicians, and 
experts in a variety of fields. Mrs. Canty has received several awards 
for her work, including an Emmy Award and honors from the Michigan 
Association of Broadcasters, the Associated Press, and the Detroit 
Press Club. After her many years of service, Cynthia Canty will retire 
from Michigan Radio at the end of 2019.
  Throughout her decorated career, Mrs. Canty has explored critical 
issues impacting the residents of Michigan. Her talent for encouraging 
thought-provoking dialogue has been crucial in dissecting these 
important topics. Beyond her work in journalism, Mrs. Canty has 
dedicated numerous hours to supporting healthcare and cancer treatment 
in partnership with the American Cancer Society, the Karmanos Cancer 
Center, and the Henry Ford Health System. We thank Cynthia Canty for 
her commitment to journalistic excellence and we congratulate her on 
her retirement. Her dedicated leadership will be missed, but we wish 
her good health and every happiness in her retirement years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Cynthia 
Canty for her expertise in the realm of TV and radio journalism. Her 
work discussing art, culture, politics, and lifestyle has had a 
profound impact on the people of Michigan.
