Holmdel resident and CBA grad Pete Yurkowski competes in 'Survivor: Philippines,' which premieres Wednesday on CBS at 8 p.m.
Pete Yurkowski, 24, of Holmdel, will be competing on the 25th season of the 'Survivor' series, which premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. on CBS. "I never thought I'd be on a TV show," Yurkowski said. "I had just graduated college and my mom was telling me to get a job. I saw the application for 'Survivor' and sent them a tape and bio and they called me back." Yurkowski, an engineering graduate, was a fan of the show when it first came out and thought he would be a good fit for it. "I love sports, love physical activity, it's dangerous, they put you in the middle of nowhere, it's a strategy game and I'm good at lying and manipulating people," Yurkowski said. "I saw no problem in trying to manipulate people to go for a million dollars." …

Eleven teachers and students at the Holmdel Village School Elementary School donated their hair for Locks of Love, the non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to children with hair loss.

Friday the 13th brings bad luck? Not to Holmdel’s Village Elementary School! Cub Scout Packs 131 & 331 of Holmdel chose Friday, April 13th to welcome Spring by planting flowers near the Main Entrance of the school. Scouts, siblings, and parents arrived ready to go, armed with hand shovels, gardening gloves, a big trash bag, jugs of water, and lots of Scout energy and enthusiasm. After pruning some dead branches and pulling some pesky weeds, the boys turned their attention to planting. They decided that the lighter colored flowers should be planted towards the front of the bed, with the darker ones arranged in the back. The boys then dug in and planted four flats of pansies and carefully watered everything. The parents managed to wrangle …
