                HONORING KATHY KANE AND THE TRENTON TRIB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 18, 2022

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kathy Kane on 
the occasion of her retirement from the Trenton Trib, where she has 
served as Business Manager and Co-Publisher for over twelve years. Her 
significant contributions and service to our community are worthy of 
commendation.
  Ms. Kane received her Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and 
Marketing from Central Michigan University. She was co-publisher of the 
Trenton Trib, which was founded in 2009 in response to community 
concerns about the lack of a hometown newspaper. In addition to her 
work in journalism, Ms. Kane is also the President of Market Insights 
LLC, a company that creates and implements marketing strategies for 
businesses and organizations.
  The Trenton Trib and the Island Beacon has served a variety of local 
institutions with its varied and engaging reporting. In the years since 
its founding, it has become a multifaceted news organization and has 
presented the news that matters to the citizens of Trenton and 
Downriver. From the latest in high school sports to breaking 
development news to highlighting local businesses, the Trib could 
always be counted on to write about the things that our neighbors cared 
about. Along with co-publisher Joe Hoshaw, they brought news to the 
people of Downriver. The Trenton Trib ceased publication at the end of 
2021, but their impact on the community will last for years to come.
  As an involved community member, Ms. Kane is a member of the Trenton 
Business Association, Trenton Rotary, Southern Wayne County Regional 
Chamber, and the Downriver Business Association. She is known for her 
broad insight and marketing expertise, as well as her kindness and 
friendly demeanor. Her commitment to Southeast Michigan and or local 
news cannot be understated. She continues to reside in Downriver with 
her husband Matthew and sons Dustin and Timothy.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Kathy Kane. 
We are grateful for her years spent at the Trenton Trib and her 
dedication to the residents of southeastern Michigan. I join with 
Kathy's family, friends, and colleagues in extending my best wishes to 
her in retirement.
