Author Mike Buzzelli has published 64 humor columns and short stories about his life and upbringing in Scott Township.
A local author isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers in his recently released book that contains numerous humor columns and short stories he’s penned over the past few years. Mike Buzzelli, who lives in Scott Township and graduated from Chartiers Valley in 1981, credits his upbringing for his humor and work ethic. A stint as a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles also gave him a different perspective of other people from around the country. “I think living in Scott gave me a unique perspective,” Buzzelli said. “I knew lots of funny people in Chartiers Valley and around the area.

Hundreds of racing enthusiasts gathered at Raceway Plaza for the unveiling of the Heidelberg Raceway historical marker over the weekend.
Jim “Fireball” Sarasnick raced cars at Heidelberg Raceway for most of the 1960s while living in Bridgeville. So he was saddened and very disappointed when the legendary local speedway closed and turned into a strip mall.

It was a lot of fun, exciting. This probably would’ve been a NASCAR track if it had stayed around.” Instead, Heidelberg Speedway closed in 1973. But not before the track, which straddles the municipal border between Scott …

U.S. Marshals Service and Scott Township police are searching for a convicted sex offender who lived in the area, but hasn’t reported his residential address in nearly two years. Authorities on March 14 filed charges against 34-year-old Raemone Hollins with two felony counts of failing to comply with registration rules as a sex offender. Scott Township police Sgt.
