Ridgewood NJ, During last night’s Village Council meeting, Rurik Halaby accused Mayor Susan Knudsen of personally orchestrating a web based smear campaign against his candidate (Alexandra Harwin). Halaby alleged that The Ridgewood Blog was being used “headquarters” for this activity.

Mr. Halaby referred to the Ridgewood blog in the endearing terms that President Trump was alleged to use in referring to certain 3rd world countries, who Glen Rock Mayor Bruce Packer invited to move to Glen Rock . He also referred to his friends and neighbors who read this blog , stating he knows who they are (does that mean all 30,000 plus ) in the most derogatory terms .

As for Alexandra Harwin the new face of the 3 amigos , she moved to Ridgewood in 2014 , her husband is a Rabbi from Washington Township who was very involved in attacking Mayor Knudsen during the “gay flag” controversy and is a very active member of  Community Relations Advisory Board of Ridgewood and Glen Rock.

Alexandra is part of Emerge New Jersey a Democrat group that is involved in promoting liberal women and training them to run for office .

THE RECORD

Additional criminal counts have been filed against a former Ridgewood resident accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with seven of the college athletes he had coached.

A grand jury in Rockland County, N.Y., returned a 197-count indictment last month against Kurt G. Ludwigsen, the 44-year-old former coach for Nyack College’s softball team.

The indictment formalized the 190 counts of forcible touching and sexual abuse Ludwigsen was initially arrested on three months ago and added seven charges of first-degree felony coercion.

Ludwigsen is due back in court on Aug. 19 at 9:30 a.m. in front of Rockland County Supreme Court Judge William Kelly.

Ludwigsen allegedly touched the buttocks and breasts of seven of the team’s players, including four freshmen, according to the indictment, and none of the women consented to the sexual contact.

The sexual abuse allegedly occurred between Sept. 1, 2014, and March 5 — just days before Ludwigsen was fired by the college, the indictment says.
