Reporter loses battle to safety glass
SWEAT SOCKS
by Heather McIlwraith
Oh the trials of arenas. Especially those
that are totally enclosed by plexiglass. •
I had just spent three days in Kitchener
complaining to my parents and bemoaning
the fact that the ice surface at the Kitchener
Auditorium was totally enclosed with
plexiglass. The glass had made a recent
assignment difficult. 1 then proceeded to
inform them of how advantageous being a
reporter in a small town was - and how much

more respect we sports reporters are
afforded in the arenas, 1 mean, no plexiglass
on the north side of the rink, right? A
photographer's dream.
When I left, my parents knew I could
hardly wait to get back and snap off a few
photos without being affronted by
plexiglass.
Boy, was I surprised, even a little miffed
when I went into the arena on the weekend,
travelled to the north side of the rink (as'
always) and had a collision with the'
photographer's pet peeve - safety glass.
Totally unprepared for it, 1 nearly knocked
myself out with my camera when I swung it
up to take that always sought after, "Photo
of a lifetime." Had the plexiglass not been
there I might've caught it, (Actually in truth,
this is lny excuse of the week for poor
photos).
I now have plexiglass phobia. That stuff
will be the death of me yet. Not only does it
pose a threat by threatening to shove your
camera through your face if you get too
close; but it can be indirectly responsible for
injurinp a reporter when trying to get around
shooting through it. 'Cause have you ever
shot through that stuff.
Well, it's not too bad at first when its
clean and clear, but eventually jt becomes a
bit difficult to place your camera lens so it
lies somewhere in between the extremely
large scuff marks that always seem to
develop in the prime picture taking area
(also the prime checking area). Wen it's not
smudges you have need to eliminate it is the
innumerable water marks that crop up
whenever a body slams against the boards.
If only there were such a device as window
wipers for those plexiglass affrontations.
Maybe then hockey photos would look like
hockey photos instead of some new deep sea
adventure as photographed from one of
Jacques Cousteauss subwater vehicles.
Had I known when 1 returned to Seaforth
what I'd be up against at the Seaforth arena 1
might have put into practice one of the tricks
1 learned from a Kitchener -Waterloo Record
reporter. Seems he carries a stool to all the
games, and hangs out over the top of the
glass when necessary.
it's unfortunate that some of us who need
to be, weren't born with the built in height
my male counterpart here at the office seems
to have been blessed with. Maybe he'll have
to be the official arena photographer from
this point on ,,-- at least until I find an
appropriate stool,
Tweensplay close game

Club.
