The press room

I kinda knew what was happening when I felt the floor shake a bit. It’s a feeling that brought back memories of those early winter mornings at the North Bay Nugget when the presses began to roll with all the latest news. I dropped in to see the fellas in the Times press room today and they were happy to show me around. I could smell the ink even before I got through the door. This is the massive 14-unit Goss Press, the largest in Timmins. I got a kick out of seeing the pages roll faster and faster while the pressmen adjusted the pressure and ink levels as it began spitting out hundreds of papers each minute. The pressroom is a cool place.
