Trinity Hall All-Girls School Is Considering Middletown Site

Founders say they are searching for temporary and permanent spaces -- but CBA won't be Trinity's new home.

At its first public event in Lincroft, the founders of the all-girls school Trinity Hall announced they are engaged in discussions with Middletown officials about potentially opening their school on a site within the township in fall 2013. The founders made the announcement before 150 people at an International Day of the Girl event held Thursday night at Christian Brothers Academy. The event served as a preview for the documentary called 10X10, which highlights the education of 10 girls in 10 developing countries, set to be released this spring.  Parents with daughters ranging in age from preschool through eighth grade filled about half of the CBA theater. Trinity Hall supporters working the event handed out posters that read "Girls + …

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." …
