From the time he joined the St. Louis Cardinals until his re- tirement from pro-football 13 seasons and 160 games later, Dierdorf put together a leg- endary career that seemed al- most too good to be true. Dier- dorf was virtually unanimous all-NFL selection for four straight «years from 1975 to 1978 and then earned a fifth all- pro nod in his 10th season in 1980. He played in six Pro Bowls in a seven-year period between 1975 and 1981. In 1996, Dierdorf was induct- ed into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He also was a two-time All-Big Ten tackle at the Univer- sity of Michigan, where he was named to seven All-American teams as a senior. The universi- ty named him to its Hall of Fame in 1996. Dierdorf spent 13 years as an expert commentator with ABC Sports. He presently is an expert commentator with Fox Sports, sharing perspective on teams and players form a participant's point of view. He also was a sportscaster for KMOX-Radio in St. Louis. Dierdorf's abilities ranged far beyond the football field. Includ- ed in his many civic contribu- tions are the St. Louis Easter Seals, Cystic Fibrosis Society and United Way. Dinner sponsorships and tick- ets are available. Please call Jim St. Louis at 207-1227 for reser- vations. Heating program open to more families More families in Pennsylvania may be eligible for home heating assistance under changes to the federal Low Income Home Ener- gy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) recently announced by the gov- ernor. LIHEAP provides low-in- come families with cash grants to help pay regular home heat- ing costs and crisis grants to help pay for furnace repairs and high prices associated with fuel shortages. Eligibility for the pro- gram is based on family size and Lions Host distri ct Governor household income. The adminis- tration has agreed to increase the income eligibility limit for the program and extend the ap- plication deadline until April 30. The changes mean that a family of four earning up to $23,018 is eligible for a cash grant and a family of four earning up to $25,575 qualifies for a crisis grant.
