Police say David Cardona, Shane Parry, Robert Denman, and Ian Kundel — all varsity athletes — entered the school through an unlocked window and made a mess on April 24.

DJK Holdings came before the planning board in April to request the use of 15.6 acres at 1120 Delaware Turnpike as a nursery for plants — a use allowed in the residential hamlet zone. A 24-foot-by-24-foot pole barn is also planned for the property to be used for sales.
