Presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders takes questions from Detroiters at Sweet Potato Sensations. PHOTO: Bryan Giardinelli/Bernie 2020

Will Michigan “Feel the Bern” in 2020?

Bernie Sanders Tours Michigan in Attempt to Blaze Path to The White House

By Janis D. Hazel

about a dozen local activists and business leaders.

The 2016 presidential election was an eye-opening experience for Democrats seeking the White House. The key takeaway was never, ever neglect Michigan.

Espy Thomas, who describes herself as “Queen of Awesomeness”, is co-owner of the thirty one-year-old, family-owned restaurant, which specializes in everything made from sweet potatoes – pies, cheesecake, pancakes, waffles, grits, cookies and more). Thomas said of Bernie Sanders that she was “eager to offer her space so African Americans in Detroit would be able to hear what he stands for and the opportunity to ask him questions.” She said she likes to use her venue as a melting pot for people from the community to come together to get information.

The 2016 Hilary Clinton campaign learned a hard lesson when the decision was made to not campaign in Michigan during the final days of her campaign for president.

Mitt Romney learned from his mistake in 2008 when he turned his back on Detroit, the city in which he was born and where his father served as governor of the state of Michigan. The infamous New York Times op-ed column written

by Romney and titled, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” was remembered by Michigan voters and led to him losing the nomination in his bid for president.

Sanders opened the dialogue stating, “Trump is a pathological liar who has failed to honor promises central to African-American voters and waged an all-out attack on the principles of racial and economic justice. The cuts in his budget reflect that. He is intentionally, in a calculated way, trying to divide us by the color of our skin and economics.”

Michigan voters didn’t forget, and our displeasure was reflected in the final vote tally for former president Barack Obama.

With that being said, of the current 18 declared Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls (or those with exploratory committees), each are methodically making their rounds to Michigan in early swings through the Midwest.

Representative Beto O’Rouke (D-TX) stopped by Center Line, Ferndale and Detroit in March just before his official campaign kick-off. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) will be the keynote speaker for the NAACP Detroit branch’s

Is It Love Or Manipulation?

Sanders said his government “will be about bringing everyone together – black and white, gay and straight, poor and rich.” He went on to say, “Justice is not having half of the people in our country living pay check to pay check, stressed out to meet their essential needs.” He added that whether Walmart likes it or not, as president, he is going to “raise the Federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, to a living wage.”

White House correspondent and renowned journalist April Ryan will also be in the building. Due to her “never-back-down” demeanor in her pursuit of the truth, Ryan has been deemed “trouble-maker” by the President of the United States, who has also demanded that she “sit down” and ask no further questions during White House press briefings. However, April’s ability to stand for what she believes in has earned her the prestigious Ida B. Wells Freedom & Justice Award, which she will receive at the ceremony.

SMALL BUSINESS EMPOWERMENT FAIR THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2019

5 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Sanders From page A-1

Claricha Evans, owner of Elevated Education Center childcare facility told the Senator that while she agrees with people making a living wage, “the reality is I would not be able to afford to pay each member of my staff $15 per hour, so what supports would you put in place.” Sanders answered, “That’s where the federal government steps in… our [administration] would provide you with the subsidies and support you need to provide the quality care with welltrained workers that are well paid.”

Camille Proctor, executive director and founder of The Color of Autism Foundation asked Sanders, “What would you do for the special needs community?”

She went on to say, “There is a disparity of services for African Americans that go undiagnosed or receive inaccurate information and Black people end up cycling in and out of the criminal justice system due to developmental disabilities and misdiagnosed mental health issues.”

She said she fears that her “13-year-old son, who is on the Autism Spectrum, may encounter law enforcement in the street and not understand how to yield and end up injured or incarcerated.”

The Senator responded saying, “It’s a question of changing our priorities.

Do we have to spend more money on the military than the next ten nations combined, or do we pay attention to children with special needs? I think the answer is pretty obvious.” He further outlined what his administration would do, stating, “We might want to adequately fund public education and make sure we have people in the schools that are well trained to take care of your son and the thousands of others with that need.

When we do that, we begin to make life better for your son and other children and create good and important jobs to do that.”

Jumping in on the education topic was Lanissa Freeman, Ph.D., support services director (special education) with Southfield Public Schools. Freeman said, “The national teacher shortage is killing us – 200 vacancies alone in the City of Detroit – we cannot get teachers to take and keep the positions because of the low pay.”

Sanders responded, “We have to respect education and teachers by paying them appropriately, and that can only be done by adequately funding the education system,” which is something he intends to do if elected president.

Playing to the crowd, Sanders hammered home the point that the “racial injustice situation is unacceptable in our country.” He noted that African-American babies have the highest infant mortality rate in the country. He said a vote for him will ensure that “this country adopts a Medicaid/Medicare-for-all single payer healthcare plan to address the healthcare disparities that the African-American community experiences.”

Lack of affordable housing, unaffordable water and home foreclosures in Detroit peppered the discussion, and residents asked how the Senator would address these concerns as president.

Sanders said, “When I talk about infrastructure, it’s not just about roads and bridges; it is affordable housing.

We can put people to work building that housing, refurbishing that housing.”

Shifting to climate change, he said, “We need to weatherize our older buildings to cut people’s fuel bills in half. When you have an energy-efficient house, your fuel bill goes way down. Let’s invest in that and put people to work doing it and combat climate change in the process.”

I asked the Senator what his position is on a bill that I helped to write in November 1989 while serving as a legislative assistant on the Washington staff of Congressman John Conyers Jr. The bill was titled H.R. 40 Reparations for African Americans and was reintroduced by Conyers each year until his retirement in 2017. I went on to explain that Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) had reintroduced the bill as H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. Sanders said that as president, “If the

Congress passed the bill, he would sign it.”

He further stated that he likes the anti-poverty bill, H.R. 2055, that expands the successful 10-20-30 formula that House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) co-introduced with Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ). The companion bill, S.1066, better targets federal grant dollars to high-poverty urban, rural and tribal communities and demands ten percent of all federal funds go to rebuilding distressed communities.

To which, Senator Sanders said, “There are communities that have struggled economically with high levels of poverty and the inability of Black small businesses to get loans.” Lacking the human capacity and financial resources to move ahead without some assistance, he said that should be at the top of the list for building up businesses in those communities along with education and healthcare.

At the rally, where the attendees were predominately white progressives, the union members that introduced Sanders made it clear that Macomb County (a suburb north of Detroit) is a pivotal spot on election and delegate maps. Known affectionately as the home of Regan Democrats, the county is predominately populated with white ethnic voters (largely unionized auto workers).

Ford Resource and Engagement Center - Eastside 15491 Maddelein St. - Detroit, MI 48205

Three events in one!

BRIDGING NEIGHBORHOODS EVENT 5 p.m. - 6 p.m.

The purpose of this event is to inform and engage local home improvement contractors on current rehab opportunities within the City of Detroit.

CASH READINESS EVENT 6 p.m. -7 p.m.

The purpose of this event is to inform business owners on the steps to prepare to apply for cash assistance/loans.

Noteworthy, Macomb voted 63 percent for John F. Kennedy in 1960 and 66 percent for Reagan in 1984. Obama won Macomb County by a comfortable 53-45% margin in 2008, the same margin he won nationally, and he won the county again in 2012 by nearly 4 percentage points. However, the county voted for Donald Trump by an overwhelming 11 points ahead of Democrat Hilary Clinton in 2016. Needless to say, the blue-collar crossover voter is being courted.

PURCHASING EVENT 7 p.m. -8 p.m.

The middle-aged white male line-up voicing support of Sander’s campaign at the rally were fairly typical of his progressive camp featuring Professor and Adjunct Lecturer Craig Register, University of Michigan Residential College, and Dennis Nazelli, former Michigan labor leader and organizer with Teamsters and UAW.

Boysie Jackson, chief procurement officer for the City of Detroit will also be available to answer your questions.

The purpose of this event is to inform business owners of City of Detroit partnerships with various financial institutions to provide cash assistance to small businesses.

Hosted by:

The Sanders’ campaign shored up its diversity when Abdul El Sayed, former Detroit Health Department director and 2018 candidate for Michigan Governor, and 25-year-old self-described multi-racial Monique Becker, owner of a Detroit real estate development company and activist in the African-American community, offered their views of what a vote for Bernie means for the diverse ethnic and black residents of the state.

At the podium, Becker talked about the income inequalities that affect her generation. She said, “I support Bernie because he speaks plainly, yet thoughtfully and sanely about the real issues facing our nation. I know that his plan for universal healthcare supports me as an entrepreneur who does not have to choose between investing in my community, my American Dream, and the security of my body and mind. His policies support me as a young woman of color in a world stacked against me.”

Council President Brenda Jones

Council Member Janeé Ayers

Sponsored by:

Will Michigan ultimately “Feel the Bern” for 2020?

That is yet to be determined as the Democratic field will naturally thin, and Republicans will undoubtably double-down with Trump as their nominee.

Some voters may feel Sanders is too far to the left, which may push conservative Democrats to vote Republican, while others believe in his campaign promises enough to risk their vote to put him in office.

AKA Sorority, Inc. Is Coming to Town This Easter Weekend.

Detroit Expected to See Tons of Green...Dollar Bills, That Is

ference – not just in our respective communities but across the world.”

Detroit is in for an influx of visitors this weekend as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated brings more than 2,500 sorority members to the city.

The ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha will also offer services and events to the public.

On Thursday, April 18 from 10-4 p.m., the public is invited to drop off old prescription eyeglasses and gently worn shoes, which will be redistributed to those in need around the world. The drop off location is the Detroit Marriot at the Renaissance Center and will benefit Soles4Souls and Lions Club International.

The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority (AKA) will host its 88th Great Lakes Regional Conference at Cobo Center from April 18-21. Planning the conference are the nine graduate chapters and five undergraduate chapters that are native to the Metro Detroit area.

Alpha Kappa Alpha is the oldest black sorority in existence. It is the first sorority founded in 1908 by African-American women at historically black Howard University.

AKA’s Great Lakes region encompasses 97 graduate and undergraduate chapters in Michigan, Ohio, Western New York, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

With members coming from multiple surrounding states, we can expect even more than the estimated 2,500 sorority members to impact Detroit’s economy. Additional visitors may include friends and family members of the conference’s attendees.

In addition to the abundance of pink and green, we can also expect to see an increase in revenue in downtown Detroit as attendees and their family and/or friends explore the city during their weekend stay.

It is estimated – through restaurants, retail shopping and hotel stays – that the thousands of outof-town visitors in downtown Detroit will spend more than $1 million in the area during this Easter holiday weekend.

With all the new sights to see and things and places to explore in Downtown Detroit, Great Lakes regional director Carrie J. Clark stated, “We are thrilled to be in De-

Carrie J. Clark troit for our regional conference.

Detroit is a fascinating city with great food, shopping and entertainment. I’m sure our members will take advantage of all the city has to offer during the weekend conference.”

Clark is also a member of a Metro Detroit chapter of the sorority.

Most may view sororities (and fraternities) as organizations that do nothing but party, but during an interview with BLAC Detroit Magazine, Clark said, “We have thousands of hours to prove that we do more than just socialize when we are together; we truly make a dif-

Finally, on Saturday, April 20, the AKA Mobile Mammography Unit will be open to the public in dedication to women’s health and early detection of breast cancer. Uninsured women can call to schedule an appointment for a 3D mammogram at 888-233- 6121 or schedule online at www.assuredimaging. com/AKA. No referral is necessary.

“We’ve been around for 110 years. My hope and my dream is that we’ll be around for another 110-plus, doing the work that our founders started this organization on,” regional director Clark said. “and that is to be of service to all mankind.”

Comerica, Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix team up to surprise Detroit students

S

tudents at the Cass Technical High School STEM Expo were treated to a special demonstration of science, technology, engineering and math career opportunities thanks to Comerica Bank and the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear.

Comerica and the Grand Prix’s participation in the event also brought a special surprise for participating students, who were invited to enjoy an exclusive field trip to Comerica Free Prix Day on Friday, May 31. This is the seventh consecutive year the public will be invited to attend Friday’s activities on Belle Isle State Park for free courtesy of Comerica Bank.

Comerica Bank Executive Vice President and General Auditor Christine Moore speaks to a student from Cass Tech as part of the Comerica Bank Free Prix Day announcement. Moore, a graduate of Cass Tech, surprised the students by offering them a behind-the-scenes field trip to Comerica Free Prix Day at the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Friday, May 31.

Cass Tech students (left) speak with Cadillac Racing Program Manager Laura Klauser about her racing experience.

Comerica will host 40 students from Cass Tech for special behind-the-scenes tours to learn about the science and technology that supports the race during Comerica Free Prix Day. “Supporting education is one of our primary giving priorities at Comerica and being able offer a hands-on experience like the behindthe-scenes tour of the Grand Prix is a great way

to promote the range of career paths available with a STEM-focused education,” said Christine Moore, executive vice president and general auditor for Comerica Bank, who also is a Cass Tech graduate. “For them to have the opportunity to see how what they’re learning impacts the real world is incredibly important.”

The announcement at the STEM Expo featured a panel discussion with Moore, Cadillac Racing Program Manager Laura Klauser, Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix General Manager Michael Montri and Driver Pipo Derani. Now driving for the Cadillac Racing Team, he recently won the 12 Hours of Sebring Race, an annual endurance race held in Sebring, Florida. Derani won the pole position and finished seventh in last year’s Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix.

The panel discussion focused on ways young women can become involved in STEM careers and opportunities available in racing for young graduates.

“I’m a very proud graduate of Cass Tech. High school is one of those times in your life when you have an opportunity to think through and figure out what you want to do,” Moore said. “It was these types of opportunities that help make those decisions.”

“I’ve been to the Grand Prix, but I’ve never seen the cars race,” Collins said.

“It’ll be great to see that and the behindthe-scenes aspects that shows how the math and technology work together to make the team better.”

Moore, Klauser, Montri and Derani were also able to review some of the work done by Cass Tech students as part of their For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology Robotics club.

The school finished ninth out of 40 teams in the 2019 statewide competition, which was held at Cass Tech.

COMERICA IN THE COMMUNITY

COLLEAGUE Lysette Bailey Lysette Bailey plays a critical role for Comerica Bank. As senior vice president and chief information security officer, she is responsible for influencing the company’s culture surrounding risk management and keeping the personal information of customers and employees safe.

Even though she’s only been at Comerica four months, her work is already earning recognition.

Bailey is nominated for the Michigan Chronicle’s Women of Excellence award.

The honor is given to local African American women who inspire others through their leadership, professional achievements and community service.

Bailey is one of 50 members nominated. An award ceremony is scheduled for May 3.

Comerica colleagues Michelle Craig (left), and Marvin Turner present to students as part of the Comerica Financial Education Brigade. The brigade is made up of volunteers from Comerica Bank who work to empower people to make better financial decisions through workshops and classes.

Bailey’s 25-year career, which has led her to a leadership position at Comerica Bank, has been one of many professional achievements. However, for the native of Oak Park, Illinois, she remains intently tuned into the task at hand.

“The most fulfilling part of my work is contributing every day to a culture focused on risk management Lysette Bailey at Comerica,” Bailey said. “We’re constantly working on proactively managing risk for our customers and organization to provide the best service possible.”

Comerica Financial Education Brigade Hits the Road for Financial Literacy Month

Money Smart Week provided the kick-off of numerous outreach events by Comerica’s Financial Education Brigade in metro during Detroit Financial Literacy Month.

The brigade, part of Comerica’s commitment to the community, began their Financial Literacy Month work April 1 with stops at five campuses at Wayne County Community College.

Coinciding with Money Smart Week, the meetings covered money, credit and debt management. Throughout April, volunteers with the brigade continued hosting presentations and workshops throughout the state.

“Financial education is one of the most impactful ways we can support the community,” said Comerica Bank Vice President of Michigan Corpo-

rate Contributions and Community Reinvestment Act Manager Michael Cheatham. “Not only do we have an impact on those we’re providing these lessons to, but we’re also able to impact future generations.”

The brigade represents the bank’s giving priorities related to education and serving low- and moderate-income families. Sessions hosted by the brigade cover a wide array of topics from balancing a checkbook to protecting yourself from identity theft and fraud.

“Financial education is part of our focus on grassroots ways to support the community,” Cheatham said. “Our classes give us the opportunity to empower people in the community with better information about their finances.”

The brigade continues their busy Financial Literacy Month Tuesday, April 23 at Rutherford Winans Academy for Beaumont Health System’s Financial Education Series.

They’ll also be at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago-Detroit Branch for a presentation on Financial Education and Entrepreneurship on Tuesday, April 30.

• Among the financial lessons offered by members of the Financial Education Brigade include: • Start a budget that ends at zero each month to make sure you’re adding to your savings.

This is called zero-based budgeting.

• Open all mail to check if there is a discrepancy or if someone opened a credit card account under your name. Frequently looking at financial statements is the easiest way to catch identity theft.

• Don’t close old credit card accounts and stay well below your available line of credit.

Both will help keep your credit score high to improve your rates for loans and mortgages.

In addition to Financial Literacy Month and Money Smart Week presentations, Comerica colleagues volunteer with Junior Achievement JA in a Day events throughout the year. Members of the brigade provide financial education to elementary, middle and high school students through the program.

Brigade volunteers also worked with the Community Economic Development AssociComerica Bank Vice President of Michigan Corporate Contributions and Commu- ation of Michigan in February for Show Me nity Reinvestment Act Manager Michael Cheatham leads a workshop at Wayne the Money Days.

The accomplishments for Bailey go beyond the workplace. She also holds multiple advanced degrees, including an MBA from DePaul University and a master of science degree in information technology from Northwestern University.

Asked about her top advice for those looking to advance their careers, Bailey mentioned balance, learning, and developing relationships and respect among colleagues.

“Finding the right work-life balance is incredibly important to having a successful career,” Bailey said.

“That includes taking time to continue learning, both formal and through on-the-job experiences, which are key factors to career development and growth.

It’s also important to develop respect and relationships with others both professionally and personally.”

Since joining Comerica Bank, Bailey has embraced the culture of volunteering. She is currently part of the team working with the American Cancer Society to support the Michigan ResearcHERS campaign. Through the campaign, the American Cancer Society will support a group of female researchers in Michigan looking for cures for cancer.

Bailey continues to be involved in professional and community organizations outside of work. This includes serving as a member of the alumni board for Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering. She’s also a past member of the board of directors for University of Chicago’s Sonia Shankman Orthogenic’s School and their Center for Speech and Language Disorders.

What are your hobbies outside of work?

“I enjoy reading, swimming and playing tennis with my family. These really help me keep my worklife balance going strong and allow me to relax outside of the office.”

What’s your most memorable or rewarding volunteer experience?

“When I was living in Chicago, my family and I would volunteer reading to the blind and providing clothes and food for local homeless shelters. These were experiences that I won’t forget, in part because I was able to do them with my family.”

Signs That

Life Coaching

Could Be The Career For You!

By AJ Williams – City.Life.Style. Editor

B

eing a life coach is a highly rewarding vocation in which ­ you can help others realise their strengths, values and achieve their goals and reach their dreams. Today, Top Life Coach Carole Ann Rice, shares 5 reasons to become a life coach.

1. You like helping and being around people – this is pretty much a prerequisite of the job – liking people and wanting to help them further themselves. Life coaching suits those with a sociable, practical and calm nature who prefer the company of others to their own solitude.

2. You’re good at listening – some people are natural listeners with an empathetic nature. They find it easy to listen to other people’s dilemmas and issues, put themselves in the shoes of others, whilst coming up with realistic and constructive solutions. If this is you, why not make a living out of doing something you’re already doing?

3. You have great communication skills – a good life coach isn’t just good at listening but is also articulate and able to put across their strategy and steps. You’ll be working with a huge cross-section of people from a host of different backgrounds and it’s essential that you’re able to relate to each and every one, in language they understand.

4. You have extensive knowledge in the area you choose to specialize in i.e. health, finance, spirituality – a lot of life coaches first started out in a different profession altogether and then found themselves naturally migrating to life coaching. Being specialized in a certain area, as a result of your previous experience, is invaluable and it would be wise to use that in the type of life coaching you choose to practice, especially if that area is relatively untapped in the marketplace.

5. You’d like to earn flexibly – life coaching can be a really flexible career, which you can fit in around your life. It’s common to work from home, if you have a designated space, or you may even find a contract with an employer. As a private practitioner you can earn $40-60 per hour, with experienced coaches charging up to S100 per session (and often more, if their reputation grows).

Is It Love Or Manipulation?

By AJ Williams – City.Life.Style. Editor The perfect relationship should be secure, loving and - most importantly equal. Relationships involve two people and it’s important that you both feel valued and comfortable all the time. But for some, relationships can be a negative experience – think manipulation, abuse, and control. If this sounds like your relationship, then there are some red flags to look out for.

You are constantly undermined – making fun of each other is the sign of a healthy relationship, but no one wants to constantly be the butt of the joke. If your partner is constantly mocking you and undermining you in public, it could be a sign that they are trying to manipulate your self-esteem and make you feel worthless - something that could increase their control over you in the future.

Gaslighting – gaslighting refers to cre-

ating self-doubt and confusion in someone, in order to manipulate and control them. For example, if you partner has done something to upset you and then denies that they did it and calls you ‘crazy’ for thinking they did, they may be gaslighting you into believing hat you are the problem and that you are making up drama and causing problems.

It’s never their fault – being a good partner means you’re able to admit your mistakes and hold your hands up when you are wrong. However, if your partner is trying to manipulate you, they will often place the blame elsewhere and make everything your fault. Keep an eye out for this trait and make sure you don’t fall victim to it.

You are always on call – it’s important to be there for your partner, but you don’t want them to take advantage of you. While you want your partner to be safe, you are not an errand boy or a cab driver, so you shouldn’t need to be con-

stantly on call. It’s important that your relationship doesn’t become a job – your partner should be your equal, not your boss.

They constantly let you down – whether you have just started seeing each other or you are in a long-term rela-

tionship, it’s always important to know where you stand. If your partner isn’t showing signs of commitment and not being truthful, it could be a sign of manipulation and mind games. Make sure that you know where you stand and how committed they are to your relationship.

Tiger Woods celebrates his fifth Masters win in signature fashion.

Eye of the Tiger: Woods wins Masters for fifth time

By Branden Hunter Tiger Woods won the 83rd Masters on Sunday, capturing his 15th major title to cement an epic return from scandal and injuries that once threatened his career.

Ending an 11-year major drought, the 43-year-old American superstar – who underwent spinal fusion in 2017 fearing chronic back pain would deny him life’s simple joys much less golf wins – seized his first major title since the 2008 US Open.

Woods fired a final-round two-under par 70 to finish on 13-under 275 for a one-shot victory to capture a $2.07 million top prize and the green jacket symbolising Masters supremacy.

“Just unreal, to be honest with you,” Woods said on winning The Masters. “Just the whole tournament has meant so much to me over the years.

Coming here in ‘95 for the first time and being able to play as an amateur. Winning in ‘97 and then come full circle 22 years later, to be able to do it again.

And just the way it all transpired today.”

“This has meant so much to me and my family, this tournament, and to have everyone here, it’s something I’ll never, ever forget.”

Tiger Woods celebrates with his family after winning The Masters for the fifth time.

The triumph was the first major victory for Woods when he did not lead after 54 holes, having started the day two adrift of reigning British Open champion Francesco Molinari.

Woods served notice he had returned to form by contending last year at the British Open and PGA before snapping a fiveyear title drought by capturing the Tour Championship.

An all-American trio of threetime major winner Brooks Koepka, world No.2 Dustin Johnson and Xander Schauffele shared second on 276.

Racing to finish before an oncoming thunderstorm, players created their own electric atmosphere, spectators roaring repeatedly for sensational shot-making on one of golf’s iconic stages at Augusta National, where Woods won his first major title in 1997.

It was the fifth Masters title for Woods, his first since 2005, and it moved him three shy of the all-time record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus.

Woods then drove the green in two at the par-5 15th and tapped in for birdie to seize the lead alone at 13-under par then sank a four-foot birdie putt at

Tiger Woods celebrates with the Masters Trophy during the Green Jacket Ceremony. the par-3 16th to stretch his advantage to two shots with two holes remaining.

Woods parred 17 and walked up to the 18th green to crowds 20-people deep applauding with

delight, but he kept a stoic visage until the job was complete, a tap-in for bogey followed by a fist pump and a scream of joy in celebration of a fairy tale fightback like few others in sporting history.

Just off the 18th green, Woods hugged his mother as he had his late father Earl in 1997 and held his children, his back more than up to the task as the crowd chanted his name, a rare tribute, and rivals congratulated him as he entered the clubhouse.

Woods, one shy of matching Nicklaus for the most career Masters wins, won his 81st career US PGA victory, one shy of the all-time record held He also set a record for the longest gap between Masters triumphs, the 14-year spread one year longer than the old mark set by South African Gary Player from 1961 to 1974.

It completes a fairy tale comeback to the pinnacle of golf for Woods, whose career imploded after a 2009 sex scandal before unravelling amid injuries and personal problems.

After battling to overhaul 54hole leader Francesco Molinari of Italy, Woods birdied the par-5 13th to join a lead pack of five at 12-under.

Woods, Molinari, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Kopeka and Dustin Johnson – with Australian Jason Day in the clubhouse on 11-under and Patrick Cantlay, who also hit 12-under, foiled by bogeys at 16 and 17.

Woods and Molinari, in the last trio, each birdied the par5 13th to reach 12-under while Johnson reeled off three consecutive birdies, the last on an 11-foot putt at 17, to make 12-under.

Claressa Shields unifies belts, dominating Christina Hammer

right now,” Shields said after the bout.

“I don’t even know if I’m dreaming. I don’t know what this is.”

“Women’s boxing, we on fire. I can’t wait to see what’s next for us.”

The multi-year lead-up to the unification bout was highlighted by in-ring altercations and sharp words everywhere from social media to interviews to press conferences. And when the final bell rang on Saturday night, the two fighters declined to embrace or even touch gloves.

Shields won a unanimous decision, 98-92, on all three judges’ scorecards.

She moves to 9-0 as a professional and proclaimed herself to be the best women’s boxer ever.

But Shields handled her business in the ring. She was absolutely dominant, landing 44.3 percent of her power shots, shutting down Hammer’s usually effective jab and showing phenomenal defensive capabilities. She clearly hurt Hammer in the eighth round, and Hammer’s ineffective accuracy (she only landed 13.4 percent of her punches) couldn’t do much to stop her. After the match, Shields said she wanted a piece of Cecilian Braekhus, the No. 1 pound for pound fighter in the world who’s also two weight divisions below Shields, or Savannah Marshall, the only woman who beat Shields in the amateurs.

5 Great Ways to Relieve Stress (StatePoint) Stress is a daily part of life but, left unchecked, can be bad for the body, mind and soul. Here are five great ways to reduce tension, relieve stress and feel better.

up comedy. Even just smiling can trick you into feeling happier, so if the real laughter isn’t forthcoming, consider the old adage -- fake it ‘til you make it.

• Practice Yoga: Yoga is a powerful stress reliever as it combines the benefits of stretching, meditation, controlled breathing and exercise all in one package. It’s as simple as unfurling your yoga mat when stress runs high. While studios are easy to find these days, there are plenty of free videos you can find on YouTube when you need to de-stress on your own schedule and at home.

• Take a hike: Spending time in nature can reduce stress, ease anxiety and boost feelings of happiness according to the American Heart Association. What’s more, the exercise you get on a hike or other outdoor adventure will boost endorphins, working to trigger positive feelings. Just be sure you take along tools to help you navigate the trail and avoid bad weather. High-tech wearables, such as the Casio Pro Trek PRG650Y-1 watch, will keep both hands free for ease on the trail. Designed for comfort and durability, this watch features Triple Senor technology that tracks bearing, altitude/barometric pressure and temperature.

• Play music: Music can reduce stress, particularly when you are the one playing it.

But first you need the right gear. Consider this: these days, you don’t need a grand-sized home to get the grand piano experience. The slim design of digital pianos, such as the PX-S1000, makes it possible to get the feel and sound of a grand piano in a compact design. And integrated Bluetooth audio lets you connect your device wirelessly to this particular model, so you can also kick back and relax and listen to your favorite music through its powerful stereo amplification system.

• Laugh: Laughter reduces physical and mental tension. So when you’re feeling stressed, spend time with friends who make you laugh, turn on your favorite tv show or see some stand-

• Tackle your to-do list: Is the source of your stress a growing to-do list? Pick an item, any item and tackle it today. You’ll feel so much better afterward. There is nothing more satisfying than crossing an item off your to-do list. If it helps, start with the easiest item first.

The sense of accomplishment will motivate you to keep going.

Whether it’s playing music or going on a nature walk, reducing stress will help you feel happier and boost your sense of well-being.
