    Quarterback Sami Grisafe Comes out of Retirement, Returns to the Chicago

    ChicagoPride.com News March 8, 2017 Quarterback Sami Grisafe comes out of retirement, returns to the Chicago Force By Ross Forman March 8, 2017 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/82083025 Singing sensation also has been a gridiron great on the local and international field CHICAGO, IL -- She's baaaack! Yep, Sami Grisafe, arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of women's tackle football, is returning to the Chicago Force after a two-year retirement. The eight-game Force regular-season kicks off in April and the home opener is May 6, when Chicago plays host to the Minnesota Vixen, with kickoff set for 6 p.m., at Evanston Township High School. Grisafe's return was spurred by team owner Linda Bache, who has announced the 2017 season will be the team's last, though new owner(s) could potentially acquire the team. And the Force, Grisafe said, has become her "surrogate family" over the past decade or so. "The idea of getting to play football with my sisters for one more year put a lot of joy in my heart, (and) I saw an opportunity to redeem myself after my injury-stricken season in 2014," Grisafe said. "I feel good about the decision. Football is my first love. You can never completely get your first love out of your system. Luckily, I still have gas in the tank and am fortunate enough to continue playing. It's also nice to still feel wanted by my teammates, coaches, and management." Still, Grisafe said it was a "very difficult" decision to put her pads back on.

    Decentralized Development: From Theory to Practice Robert Mier and Kari J. Moe his chapter is the story of our participation in the generation and im- plementation of a set of urban economic development policies that evolved in Chicago from the mid-1970s through 1987. The story follows our ideas and experiences through three stages: as policy analysts and activists in­ volved in community-based coalitions; as members of the policy apparatus of the Harold Washington mayoral campaign; and as administrators in city government. We have tried to reflect carefully about what we set out to-do, what we did, and what we learned. Our course was inextricably rooted in the history of minority and com­ munity political struggles in Chicago, which we discuss in the first part of this chapter. Its direction was enabled and informed by the clear vision and legislative record of Harold Washington. He believed that politics and gov­ ernment could be a force for fairness, effective service delivery, and social programs directed toward the needs of neighborhoods. As community organizers and as urban planners, we believed that our role was to apply our best efforts to implement this vision, with strategies that had to include both democratic process and good results. On a decision-by-decision basis, guided by Washington’s vision and commitment, we tried to address the desires of all neighborhoods for open, effective, and fair government. We worked to make their agenda a reality in both big and small ways. We changed budget priorities and implemented reform legislation that was dramatic for Chicago.

The gloves are off. The Rolling anger is fierce. In a somewhat obscure gay marriage case in California, the U.S. Department of Justice sub- mitted a brief June 11 that many LGBT activists Along are decrying as a betrayal of President Barack Obama’s promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And yet a prominent, widely respected con- Queer stitutional law professor urges caution, arguing Bronzeville page 7 that the particular lawsuit that triggered this latest controversy is “extremely vulnerable” on a number of legal grounds. The case is Smelt v. U.S., one that has been brewing since 2004 and which gay legal activists openly criticized as premature and ill-conceived at the time. That criticism has not changed with the lawsuit’s new incarnation, filed last Decem- ber. What has changed is the president, his ap- pointees to the Department of Justice, and the Chaz expectation on the part of many in the LGBT To Become community that the Obama administration page 18 would mount only a perfunctory defense of a Man DOMA, given that President Obama has vowed to work to repeal the statute. But instead, the DOJ, under Obama appointee page 26 Tony West, an Assistant Attorney General, has filed a brief vigorously defending DOMA as a rea- sonable and necessary law.
