Donald E. “Nummy” Leader, 65, of 223 Cushing Avenue, Johnsonburg, PA
Donald E. “Nummy” Leader, 65, of 223 Cushing Avenue, Johnsonburg, PA passed away suddenly while caring for his mother-in-law’s home.
Donny was born in Ridgway on July 24, 1957, a son to the late Eugene and Hallie Sue Ener Leader. On November 17, 1989 in Johnsonburg, he married Betsy Thiry and she survives.
A lifelong resident of Johnsonburg, Donny was a 1975 graduate of Johnsonburg Are High School. He was a member of the Johnsonburg Elks Lodge 612 and Central Hose Co. Nummy loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and anything with four legs.
He also enjoyed spending time with his extended family at “the garage” where he spent a great deal of his free time and eagerly awaited someone to drop off a project for him to tinker on. He was an avid collector, amassing collections of pocket watches, knives and guns.
Upon his retirement from Domtar in 2014 after 38 years of service, he furthered his passion for being a maintenance mechanic and was always tinkering and repairing everything from toys and watches to cars and trucks. Donald was a mechanic by trade and a jack of all things for pleasure. There wasn’t a thing that had wheels or ran on fuel that he couldn’t fix. Even though a failing heart took him away from this world, his loving heart will leave an everlasting impression on his family and friends.
Donny is survived by his wife Betsy at home, his children; Cory Leader of Pittsburgh, Angel, Mrs. Joe Fritz of St. Marys, Chad Leader and his wife Annie of Ridgway and Donny Leader and his companion Thea Distler of St. Marys and his grandchildren; Isaac and Halle Fritz and Benjamin and Lottie Mae Leader. He is also survived by sisters Linda, Mrs. John Tile of York and Mary Ann Myers of Rasselas and a brother Dave Leader and his wife Jeannine of Johnsonburg, several nieces and nephews and his beloved pets.
In addition to his parents, Donny is predeceased by a brother Tommy Leader, his mother-in-law Ellen E. Evans just this past Friday and is now working on cars again with his best friend, Scott Horchen.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Donald “Nummy” Leader, in conjunction with the celebration for his mother-in-law Ellen E. Evans, will be conducted at Holy Rosary Church, Johnsonburg on Tuesday July 18, 2023 at 10 AM with Fr. Wilson, Pastor as celebrant. A celebration of life will immediately follow at Horchen’s Garage, 1275 Bendigo Rd., Johnsonburg.
Arrangements are under direction of the Anthony F. Ferragine Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 401 Chestnut Street, Johnsonburg.
If desired, memorial contributions can be made in his honor to the Elk County Humane Society, 1029 East Eschbach Rd., St. Marys, PA 15857 or to the UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation at givetochildrens.org

Kenneth J. Coppolo, 73, of St. Marys, PA
Following a storyline like that of his beloved Pittsburgh Pirates, the 2023 campaign of Ken Coppolo ended sooner than we all had hoped.
Kenneth J. Coppolo, 73, of St. Marys, PA passed away following a brief illness Wednesday, July 12, 2023 at his daughter’s home with his family and grand dogs by his side.
Ken was born March 1, 1950, in St. Marys, son of the late Gerald and Mary Rose Coppolo. He was a lifelong resident of St. Marys and a graduate of Elk County Christian High School, Class of 1969.
On October 18, 1975, at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church, he married Jeanne M. Sorg, who survives. They were blessed to share 47 years of marriage and friendship.
Along with his loving wife, Ken is survived by daughter Carisa Coppolo and her partner, Trent Mason, of Erie, daughter Julie Lapiska and her husband Andy Lapiska, also of Erie; his four grandchildren: Kenna, Reagan, Lucas, and Nathan; his sister, Vicki Coppolo of St. Marys; and by his sisters-in-law and their spouses – Mary and Jef Fritz, Sally and Rick Gabler, Nancy and Nick Budd; as well as his many nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
Ken was a parishioner of Queen of the World Church and truly loved to work. A lifelong business owner and entrepreneur, he was most committed to his business as an independent contractor, Coppolo Builders, which recently celebrated its fiftieth year. While his construction projects stand strong around St. Marys and beyond, the most important thing that Ken built was a strong family. Nothing made him prouder than seeing his daughters and grandchildren succeed on stage, at sports, and by building loving families of their own.
A selfless man, Ken lived a life guided by kindness and his idea of F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Forget About Me, I Love You). Ken’s “family” extended to include the countless friends who he loved—and brought the light of joy to—with his unwavering smile and sense of humor. He instilled these strong values and work ethic in his grandchildren who will miss him dearly.
Let’s go Bucs! We love ‘ya “Hon!”
Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass to be celebrated in the Queen of the World Church on Monday, July 17, 2023 at 10:30 AM, concelebrated by Rev.

DEP to Host Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Underground Injection Well Permit in Clara Township, Potter County
Williamsport, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will host a public hearing to accept testimony concerning the Roulette Oil and Gas Company’s (ROGC) application to convert the Clara Field #20 gas well, located in Clara Township, Potter County, into an oil and gas waste disposal well for the injection of waste produced through ROGC’s conventional oil and gas operations.
The hearing will take place on Tuesday, July 25, 2023, beginning at 5:30 PM at the F.W. Gunzburger County Office Building auditorium, located at 1 North Main Street, Coudersport, PA 16915. During the hearing, DEP will accept and record testimony concerning ROGC’s application.
Doors will open and onsite registration to testify will begin at 5:00 PM.
Permitting for underground injection wells is a shared process between federal and state agency partners. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued an Underground Injection Control Permit, effective January 14, 2022, to authorize the operation of the Class II-D Injection Well, pending DEP approval of the well permit application. EPA’s permit governs the material that is injected into the well, well integrity, groundwater protection, and well closure requirements.
DEP’s permit, which is currently under consideration, covers the location and construction of the well bore, surface issues, and an examination of the potential for pollution resulting from underground disposal.
A fact sheet with more information about the proposed project and the full electronic application are available for review on DEP’s Underground Injection Well webpage at https://www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Energy/OilandGasPrograms/OilandGasMgmt/Pages/Underground-Injection-Wells.aspx.
Individuals wishing to offer comments at the July 25 hearing should pre-register with Megan Lehman, Regional Communications Manager for DEP’s Northcentral Regional Office, at meglehman@pa.gov or 570-327-3659. Pre-registration will be accepted until noon on Monday, July 24. Each registered individual will be allotted three minutes to speak. Onsite registrations to testify will also be accepted. Registration is not required for those wishing to simply attend the hearing or to submit written comments.
Written comments of any length will also be accepted until Tuesday, August 8, 2023 and should be sent via mail to PA Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Oil and Gas District, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, or via email at RA-EPOILGASDROPBOX@pa.gov. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person filing the comment.
DEP reviews and considers all comments with equal weight, regardless of whether they are provided as verbal testimony or in written format. At the conclusion of the public comment period, DEP will issue a Comment and Response Document that serves as DEP’s response to all comments submitted during the comment period.
Persons with a disability who wish to participate in the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation should contact Megan Lehman or the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how DEP can meet their needs.

McCABE LEAPS INTO NEW GENRE WITH ‘VAULTING THROUGH TIME’
Dr. Nancy McCabe is entering fresh territory with her seventh and newest book, “Vaulting Through Time,” a young adult novel that will be published July 25, when the Bradford Area Public Library will host a book launch party.
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford professor of writing found success with five of her books authoring autobiographical stories. In 2016, she published her first novel, “Following Disasters.” Now she’s tackling young adult fiction and time travel simultaneously.
“I wrote fiction for many years – often very autobiographical stories, McCabe said about her leap into a new genre. “Then, I started writing nonfiction because I realized that those stories were already dramatic enough and gained power from the fact that they were true. But there’s also something freeing about telling stories in which you can make things up, too, and some essential truths that are easier to get at in fiction, so I’ve gradually come back to fiction, too.”
She said her college students were one of her inspirations for exploring time travel.
“I have been inspired by and learned from many students over the years who are interested in speculative work. And I’ve always been fascinated by time travel as it occurs across genres, its potential for social and cultural commentary and historical recreation, the way it can explore the effect of the past on the present and the present on the future.”
McCabe was teaching a class on time travel fiction when her daughter was a teenager competing on the YMCA gymnastics team, the Bradford Flames.
“So, I thought, what if I brought all these things together and wrote a YA novel about a time traveling gymnast?”
The protagonist of McCabe’s new book for young people aged 13 to 18 is Elizabeth Arlington, a 16-year-old competitive gymnast with fear issues when it comes to throwing herself over a vault table. But then Elizabeth finds that she has much bigger problems when she discovers a mystery surrounding her birth.
With the help of a watch that turns out to be a time machine, she catapults into the past —through her family history and great moments in gymnastics history — to solve that mystery and stop a fellow time traveler whose actions may prevent her from being born at all. Her quest takes her to the 1988 Olympic Trials, where she’ll have to perform the vault of her life to save her loved ones — and herself.
“There’s really not much difference in complexity and sophistication in YA novels versus adult novels,” McCabe said. “It’s just that YA novels deal with younger characters and are more likely to focus on issues related to identity and independence, which is also true of ‘Vaulting through Time.’”
Publisher CamCat Books will release “Vaulting through Time” July 25 in hardcover, large print and digital formats as well as in an audiobook narrated by voiceover actress Sura Siu.
The Bradford Area Public Library will hold a launch party that day at 6 p.m. The party is free and open to the public. Copies of the book will be available at the library. Additionally, McCabe will be at the Good Neighbors Bookstore in Lakewood, N.Y., from 1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 26.
McCabe noted that much of the story takes place in Bradford in 1929, 1972 and 2018.
McCabe’s next two books are already in the works. “The Pamela Papers,” a comic novel with speculative elements about a small college campus during the pandemic, will be out from Outpost 19 next year.
“Fires Burning Underground” is a contemporary middle-grades novel with supernatural elements that will be published by Fitzroy/Regal House in 2025.
In addition to her books, McCabe has published essays in numerous magazines, received a Pushcart Prize and been selected for annual lists of the most notable American essays nine times by Best American anthologies.

PITT-BRADFORD HONORED FOR EASE OF TRANSFERRING
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is one of 208 colleges and universities in the nation named to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society’s Transfer Honor Roll in honor of the pathways it has created to support transfer students.
The Transfer Honor Roll is decided by 40 key metrics related to the support and success of transfer students, including college cost and financial aid, campus life for transfer students, admission practices, and bachelor’s degree completion.
The Transfer Honor Roll was based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouseand on data submitted through the four-year institution’s profile on PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa’s online tool designed to help students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.
Colleges completing the PTK Connect profile are given a Transfer Friendliness Rating. The Honor Roll is chosen from among the top 25 percent highest-rated colleges.
This is the third time Pitt-Bradford has been recognized. It was the only campus in the Pitt system and only one of two public universities in Pennsylvania that was recognized.
“We are proud to recognize exceptional colleges and universities that go above and beyond to create accessible pathways to bachelor’s degree completion for community college transfer students,” said Phi Theta Kappa President and CEO Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner.
Phi Theta Kappa is the honor society for students at two-year colleges and universities. It recognizes four-year colleges and universities considered most friendly to transfer students.
Pitt-Bradford provides an extensive database of courses at other universities for students to find potential transfer credits. It also has specific transfer agreements with 15 other universities and offers merit scholarship for transfer students.
“We do our very best to be transfer-friendly, knowing that students are looking to us to help them earn a Pitt degree without losing out on credits they have already earned at other colleges,” said Bob Dilks, director of transfer and nontraditional student recruitment. “Our goal is to make the transfer process as seamless as possible.”
For more information on transferring to Pitt-Bradford, contact Dilks at dilks@pitt.edu.
