Parent accused of causing disturbance at Franklin County elementary

A Mercersburg father is facing charges after he allegedly got into an altercation with a principal and caused a disturbance during dismissal at a Franklin County elementary school, according to Pennsylvania State Police. David Knox, 43, is charged with five misdemeanors, including three counts of disorderly conduct, in connection with the incident on Oct. 30 at Montgomery Elementary School in Montgomery Township, according to a criminal complaint. He received his charges via mailed summons, court records show. According to the complaint, Knox "engaged in a course of disorderly, confrontational and physically offensive behavior that disrupted the orderly dismissal of elementary school students and created an unnecessary disturbance in the presence of students, parents and school personnel." Knox allegedly became angry after staff requested he secure his children in his vehicle, police said. Knox called over the principal and engaged him in a "hostile and verbally abusive confrontation," in the presence of his young children, the complaint states. Knox is accused of "berating" the principal, using profane language and of making unwanted contact by grabbing the principal's left arm. He also directed "obscenities and hostile remarks" to several parents who were there to retrieve their kids, according to the complaint. Salute:

Boys started one of Chambersburg's historic fire companies

The Chambersburg Fire Department is rich in history, and its origin dates back to 1780 when the United Fire Company was organized. Along the way there were other fire companies organized in town. Today you'll have the opportunity to learn about the beginning of one of those outstanding fire companies. It was common practice for fire company members to take the fire equipment out and throw a stream of water through the fire nozzle at an object or at a specific distance. It was during these exercises that many young boys would gather to watch the members of the Friendship Fire Company operate their equipment. One day during the spring of 1869 someone suggested starting a boys’ fire company. It was during this time that Fire Marshal John C. Gerbig organized these young men, and they became known as the Friendship Juniors. Good news was in the air as it became official on June 13, 1872, when Chambersburg Town Council voted to recognize this group of young men as the Junior Hose Company No. 2. The company’s motto was “Ever Ready.” Initially the Juniors held their company meetings at the Friendship Fire House on South Second Street next to Borough
