Chuck Bednarik honored at Liberty ceremony

Posted on by

Eagles great Chuck Bednarik was honored as part of a special program called "Hometown Hall of Famers" presented by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate at Liberty High School in Bethlehem.

Chuck Bednarik hardly resembles that same fearsome figure who is regarded as one of the toughest to play professional football and perhaps the greatest to ever wear a Philadelphia Eagles uniform. At age 88, the Upper Saucon resident walks with a cane and relies on the help of others to get around.

But on Friday at Liberty High School, Bednarik appeared healthy and happy as he thoroughly enjoyed two ceremonies on his behalf.

Bednarik was honored as part of a special program called "Hometown Hall of Famers" presented by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate during an afternoon ceremony in Memorial Gymnasium. The 1943 Liberty graduate pumped his fist as the school's world-renowned Grenadier Marching Band played the alma mater and he rhythmically banged his cane on the stage as it belted out "Liberty Forever."

Bednarik's longtime friends, former basketball coach Pete Carril and Bill Werpohoski both Liberty alums, presented Bednarik with a plaque that will remain on display in the high school.

That was Act I of the big day for the man known as "Concrete Charlie."

The second act came prior to Friday night's Lehigh Valley Conference football game between Liberty and Central Catholic at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. Bednarik was present as a seven-foot bronze statue was dedicated in the southwest corner of Frank Banko Field.

It is identical to the statue of his likeness that is located at the University of Pennsylvania's Franklin Field, where he starred in college.

Bednarik, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1967, received a standing ovation from this year's Hurricanes football team and select other student-athletes after the afternoon ceremony that included a brief video of his football career.

The football players gathered around Bednarik for a "team photo" after the event, which preceded Liberty's Homecoming pep rally.

Libertarian view: The government (non) shutdown

Posted on by

Tad DeHaven, CONSTITUTION DAILY Last updated: Friday, October 4, 2013, 12:15 PM

In this commentary, Tad DeHaven from the Cato Institute says the budgetary impasse may be obscuring the fact that the federal governments long-term financial situation remains bleak.

Its looking like it will take a week or more for Republicans and Democrats to reach an agreement to reopen the federal government. Regardless, with each passing hour a resolution necessarily becomes closer at hand because a so-called government shutdown effectively means that a budgetary impasse in our two-party dominated system has reached the end stage.

I say so-called government shutdown because most federal activities will continue and most federal employees will continue to work. If you had plans to visit Yellowstone National Park, youre out of luck until the government reopens. However, the NSA will continue to track our private conversations, the military will continue to expend blood and treasure protecting the interests of wealthy allies, and the federal entitlement system thats the source of our future fiscal imbalances will continue to pump out the checks.

So while it is true that some of the federal leviathans tentacles will take a brief respite, its reach into practically every facet of our lives will continue largely uninterrupted.

Unfortunately, one of those tentacles that will live to see another day is Obamacare. As a libertarian, I would obviously like to see it completely dismantled. But the political environment is not friendly to this stated aim of House Republicans. Democrats still control the Senate and the law also happens to be the current White House occupants signature policy achievement. It would take overwhelming public opposition against reopening the government with Obamacare in place for the president to evenconsideragreeing to such a deal. The law might not be popular, but neither is shutting down the government over it. A mainstream media that is less sympathetic to an interventionist federal government would be helpful to the House Republican cause, but the opposite is reality.

The good news for those of us who want less government is that Democrats have already agreed to support a continuing resolution at a funding level that is lower than they originally desired. Although I was initially concerned that the opposite would be the case, the House GOPs willingness to go to the mat over Obamacare probably enabled this small win for taxpayers.

As it stands, Democrats are willing to fund those portions of the government that require annual appropriations at $986 billion (on an annualized basis), which is essentially the same figure that the House GOP proposed. On the downside, because that figure originally proposed by the GOP would still be above that which the still-in-effect sequestration would allow for the new fiscal year ($967 billion), the stage would be set for another round of wailing and gnashing of teeth over the mandatory cuts in January.

January is a relatively long time away, however, and other issues will need to be addressed first. According to the Office of Management and Budget, the $16.7 trillion statutory debt ceiling will need to be raised by October 17. In fact, there is growing sentiment on the Hill that a resolution of the government shutdown will involve a resolution of the rapidly approaching debt limit issue. Seemingly grinding its gears in their multiple attempts to extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for opening the government, it is hard for this analyst to envision a scenario in which the GOP will be able to extract anything of substance from the Democratic opposition on the debt limit front either.
