It was the worse two-week killing spree in Ohio's history. On the
night of July 21, 1948, Robert Daniels and John West entered John
and Nolena Niebel's house with loaded guns. They forced the family
including the Niebel's 21-year-old daughter, Phyllis, into their
car and drove them to a cornfield just off Fleming Falls Road in
Mansfield. The two men instructed the Niebels to remove all of
their clothing, and then Robert Daniels shot each of them in the
head. The brutal murders caught national attention in the media,
but the killing spree didn't stop there. Three more innocent people
would lose their lives at the hands of Daniels and West in the
coming week. Scott Fields tirelessly researched the killings, the
capture and trial of Daniels and even interviewed a surviving
member of the Niebel family to weave this tragic story into a
must-read novel bringing the reader back to those dark days in the
summer of 1948. What led to these brutal killings, and why was the
Niebel family singled-out to be savagely murdered? It has been more
than sixty years since the tragedy, and, yet, this question still
remains unanswered. The killing spree is not only remembered to
this day, but is an important and dark part of Mansfield lore.
Asher Yaron presents a chronological case study of how coffee has
evolved from its initial discovery as a medicinal substance by its
early users, to the present day where it has been co-opted and
controlled by major corporations for the purpose of profit. Mr.
Yaron looks at the 3 major 'Waves", or epochs, of coffee's
evolution. Beginning with the 1st Wave and the commercial
distribution of coffee throughout the world, into the 2nd Wave
which mainly focused on Espresso equipment and the role of the
Barista, and into the current 3rd Wave which concentrates on
growing origins and micro-roasting. He also presents a case for the
future of coffee, the coming 4th Wave, the fresh roasting
revolution, in which he foresees the home roasting phenomenon going
viral.

When she was 17, there wasn't a man alive she would let get near
her, and when she was 18, there wasn't a man she would keep away.
She stood five feet seven inches tall, weighed one hundred twenty
pounds, her green eyes sparkled like brilliant cut emeralds, her
inviting full lips always ruby red and moist. Women universally
hated her, men continued to hold doors for her long after she
passed by - just to watch her walk away. To imply that Jessie
exuded sex would be an understatement, akin to inferring that water
was wet. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the men in Steam Corners
wanted her, but she only wanted one man, Spencer Deacon. He was
everything that she was not, even-tempered, amicable, well
respected and kind. The one thing that Spencer didn't want was
Jessie, and his firm and undeniable rejections infuriated her. What
followed was a series of sordid events involving murder, deceit,
betrayal and the conviction of an innocent man.
