“It’s been a good run,” said Todd Matthews, who has operated the press for 15 years.
Matthews is one of four press operators who are responsible for printing the Missoulian each day, and a number of other publications such as the Kaimin, the Ravalli Republic, the Messenger and Missoula Fresh Market ads.
Each night, the team starts the press, which they refer to as “Red Monster,” mostly because of its size and color. Like a car in the dead of winter, the press takes some time to get warmed up and running smoothly.

Michael Loyer
Michael Alexander Loyer of Burlington, Vt., died suddenly on January 9, 2021, in a tragic early-morning fire that also took the life of his neighbor and friend, Henry Burawa.
Michael was born on November 2, 1989, in Burlington, Vt., the son of Michael Bradley Loyer and Sandra Racine Bradshaw. He graduated from South Burlington High School with the class of 2008.
Throughout his childhood, Michael was an active, precocious boy, always outside and exploring. He loved the outdoors, especially camping and fishing with his father and diving at his favorite swimming holes. He was an enthusiastic music lover, which led him to pick up the guitar. He also had a natural talent for both snowboarding and photography an art form he had recently rededicated himself to and had received a small scholarship to study. His hopes were to use photography and screen printing to showcase his longtime love of graffiti art and culture.
