Today, be has 'turned his attention to something completely different - and much more important. World hunger. VanKanegan is the tennis pro at El Dorado Tennis Center in Long Beach, Calif. Sounds like a nice job, and he admits it is. Perhaps that's the reason why he has taken up the cause of using his occupation to help out those much less fortunate - and much more hungry. 'Tennis Fighting World Hunger' is a program originated and directed by VanKanegan, who is trying to involve teaching pros and club players across the country in an effort raise money for the hungry. Building the perfect body CL man tones up his life JOHNSBURG - It was a consistent, if not spectacular, Northwest Suburban Conference season for Johnsburg High School's boys' track team. * The Skyhawks of Randy Oberembt finished fourth in the NWSC Meet, fourth in the Hn^i meet standings, and fourth overall. Johnsburg was 7-5 in dual meets, 4-3 in conference duals. Johnsburg picked up eight standing points at the meet, and another eight for dual meet standing. Grant finished first overall with a 28, while Lake Zurich had 24, Grayslake 20 and Johnsburg with 16. Marian Central finished last with 0 points. that's how people get hurt," he recalled. Weights have become such a big part of MacLaughlin's life that he feels as though his day isn't Complete without lifting. "I'm out of shape - I haven't lifted in a week," said MacLaughlin, 23, who appears as out of shape as Walter Payton in Novem­ ber. If he has his way, he'll be looking fit for a long, long time. "A lot of people think that By Steve Metsch PlAtodMlv Herald Nswi Strvlos CRYSTAL LAKE - Dan MacLaughlin quickly puts to rest any misconceptions about bodybuilders. No, they don't weight more than 300 pounds. No, they don't eat like the Chicago Bears in training. And, no, they don't have IQ's the size of their biceps, and aren't like the dumb­ bells they lift so effortlessly. MacLaughlin graduated this m month from Southern Wonder Lake native Steve VanKanegan is using his tennis knowledge and skill to help feed the starving in Africa. VanKanegan is a dub tennis, pro in Califor­ nia, and is a McHenry High graduate. Crystal Lake native Dan MacLaughlin, center, placed third in a< recent Mr. Illinois body building contest. MaeT.ang^)iwl graduated from SIU with a degree In fine arts. VanKanegan's plan, is a simple one: ask teaching pros to contribute their skills by donating the proceeds from four tennis lessons to the Tennis Fighting World Hunger fund. Tennis clubs and organizations are encouraged to hold a tournament, clinic, or special event to benefit the effort. And club players at all levels are invited to participate in these programs or offer in­ dividual contributions, all during the summer months. \ A tournament on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina over the Memorial Day weekend kicked off the summer campaign, and has raised $3,000 thus far. Tournaments and clinics in several other states are being planned. "Heck yes I'm surprised at how well it's gone," said VanKanegan in a phone interview Thursday. "The response has been great. It's been moving real fast. People are really getting involved. It s been a lot of fun, too. VanKanegan's vision began with the popular USA for Africa movement. "I was inspired by the "We are the World" thing." he said. "I got together with a couple friends and thought maybe we could do something through tennis, help the hungry, and promote the game of tennis at the same time. More people got involved, and now it's just jumping. "we're going mainly to Africa with the money we receive," VanKanegan continued. "The money goes straight to the Red Cross, and then they see that the money gets there. There can be. hassles, with the stuff not getting to ftfrlca. but by being an international involved. Some are holding drawings, some are having picnics, some tournaments. Everybody seems to want to help out," he said. "And the media blitz hasn't started yet. There was something in Tennis magazine recently, and some other national magazines are running some articles next week. So that should increase the response." All contributions to Tennis Fighting World Hunger will go to the American Red Cross through an account at First Federal Sayings Bank, 351 South Vermont, Los Angeles, 90020. Contributions may sent there. Inquiries should be directed to 2800 Studebaker, Long Beach, 90815, or phone (213) 4254553. VanKanegan said he hopes to get 'something going' in the McHenry area. His book "Optic Yellow Fever" didn't sell well in the area, but did catch on on the East coast and West coast, he said. . "I've never been one to be involved with money. I didn't believe the book wouldn't make any money, but I broke even. The money wasn't important. "Yeah, it is kind of ironic that I went from selling a book for money for myself, to heading this to make money for the hungry, but it's been a lot of fun. I really believe pepple do want to help out. It's very satisfying to be able to do something. I've really enjoyed it." Which isn't at all surprising. Steve VanKanegan enjoys just about everything he does. And some hungry people in Africa will be awful glad to hear it. • Illinois University at Carbondale with a degree in fine arts. Lifting weights went from a hobby - "I got tired of weighing 140 pounds with wet shoes on" - to a part of his everyday life. The former Crystal Lake Central hockey player started lifting 3% years ago. His time and effort paid off this year when he placed third in the AAU Collegiate Mr. and Mrs. Illinois contest in downstate Marion. Clearly, this fellow knows what he's doing in the weight room, and nothing angers him more than hearing generalities tossed around regarding his favorite sport. "I like being able to help people in lifting. One day, I was lifting, doing ex­ tensions, ana this girl with an exercise group said fois dropped the weights and said, 'wait a minute.' If you tell a person the wrong stuff, when you stop lifting, your muscles turn to fat. How can muscles turn to fat? There's only one way for that to happen, and that's sitting on your rear eating all day. "I hate thatPeople ask me what I'll be doing when I'm 90. Still be lifting. That's the only way. I'll still be in the gym," he said. He was in the gym this year, toning his shape for the Mr. Illinois contest. Part of the training involved not lifting food to his mouth. A friend developed an eight- week diet which has proved successful for other bodybuilders. "Your weight goes down when you diet. My maximum squats were 405 pounds. That went down to 315 on my diet," he said. The diet is a protein-high carbohydrate variety. The menu couldn't be called very appetizing, as BODY--Page 20 V
