The West Windsor Sun

For the first time, MercerCounty Community CollegesFashion/Apparel Design pro-gram hosted Trenton Makes, arunway show that showcasedfour student designers fashionsat the colleges Trenton campuson May 4. It was MCCs renditionof Project Runway.

One of the students highlight-ed in Trenton Makes was RyanRamoo, a West Windsor residentwho has been involved withMCCCs fashion program sincethe fall 2012 semester.

I have always been interested

in pursuing fashion design, andwhen a friend of mine told methat Mercer has a fashion pro-gram, I thought that would beperfect, so then I continued onbeing a fashion design major atMCCC, Ramoo said.

A lot of people think thatgoing to community college is anegative thing, but the fashionprogram here at Mercer is reallyamazing.

Ramoo presented three de-signs from his four-piece collec-tion at the show a black se-quined blouse with peplum thatis paired with leggings, a blueand gold mini dress with a se-quined and detailed skirt, and amagenta evening gown with sil-ver trimming.

Each student was also as-signed to make an outfit for a dif-ferent staff member at MCCC.Ramoos client was Lucia Brown-Joseph of the bursar's office.

For her, I made a very upscalesatin jumpsuit textured with bluesequined detailing and trims, andto go with it, I made a yellow andblue sequined shawl, he said.

I was lucky that my clientand I are both West Indian, so wegot along really well, he said.She expressed to me that shewas very into Indian wear, so Ifound Indian clothing to be an in-spiration for my designs.

It was especially fun becausegrowing up as a Guyanese Amer-ican, Indian culture is something

Fashion designers were

at the runway showthat I grew up alongside.

MCCC alumni Tammy Duffyand Ray Brown, both of whomare professional fashion design-ers, were seated at the end of therunway, along with special guest

Lori Ann Diaz, a regional man-ager for Gap Inc.

The three offered critiques tothe students after their lines

were shown.I love the colors and the mix

of designs, said Duffy, owner ofDuffy Design Studios in NewYork City.

Brown added that Ramoo iscreating fashion for real people.

You definitely have an eye forwhat you are doing, he said.Keep going.

Ramoo is planning to continue

his studies at MCCC next yearand then transfer to a four-yearfashion school.

He has a goal of combining his

passion for design work and fash-ion marketing.

Eventually, I would like tohave a career in public relations,preferably in the fashion world,so that I can also be a designer,he said.

I am so proud of these stu-dents, said Allegra Ceci,MCCCs fashion program coordi-nator. They dreamed these

clothes, these fabrics and theselooks.

MCCCs fashion design pro-gram offers A.A.S. degree op-tions Fashion/Apparel Designand Fashion Merchandising.

Three years ago, back in 2010,

Gov. Christie won a political

battle, enacting a 2 percent cap

on municipal tax levies. The law re-

quired towns to limit their municipal

budget increases to a maximum of 2

percent, down from 4 percent, lest they

be subject to public vote.As is the norm, legislators argued

over whether the law would have any

real effect on property taxes, or

whether it was just another way of an-

gling and passing blame onto predeces-

sors.

State data released last week would

say that Christies property tax reform

is indeed working.While the average residential prop-

erty tax bill rose to a record high of

$7,885 last year, it increased only 1.6

percent. The states Community Af-

fairs Department said that the average

homeowner paid $126 more in property

taxes last year, which represents the

smallest increase in at least five years.CA Commissioner Richard Consta-

ble is a believer: By any measure, the

property-tax reforms have been a re-

sounding success.

Were not ready to jump headfirst

into the Kool-Aid like Constable just

yet, but we also believe that at least a

small part of the leveling off in tax in-

creases is because of the property tax

cap.

Residents of the Garden State still

pay the highest average real-estate

levies. Christies property-tax reform

was never going to fix that problem in

this short of a time frame, but its a

good start thats showing progress al-

ready.

What the 2 percent cap does is keep

local governments in check, with a rea-

sonable limit on increases. It forces

local councils, committees, commis-

sions and school boards to take a sec-

ond look at expenses and cut the excesswherever possible. It forces these enti-

ties to investigate shared services and

share resources.

In a word, it forces accountability.

No council, committee, commission

or school board wants the fate of their

budget to rest in the hands of voters.

School boards disliked the practice

when it was a standard, and theywould all dislike it if it were to go to a

vote again.

Is Christies 2-percent cap the be-all,

end-all of property tax reform in New

Jersey? Who knows? But it is a step in

the right direction.

Is Christies tax cap working?The data would say yes, at least on the surface

Your thoughts

Is Gov. Christies property tax reformworking? Or is it all just political smoke-and-mirrors? Let your voice be heardthrough a letter to the editor.

BY HEATHER FIOREThe West Windsor Sun

At its April 30 meeting, theWest Windsor-Plainsboro Region-al School District Board of Edu-cation appointed a new superin-tendent, David Aderhold, whowill officially assume his posi-tion on July 1.

Aderhold joined the WW-P Re-

gional School District in August2009 as assistant superintendentfor pupil services/planning. InNovember 2011, the board pro-moted him to the position ofdeputy superintendent.

He will succeed VictoriaKniewek, who has accepted a su-perintendent position in Edge-mont School District, N.Y., afternine years of service in the dis-trict, the last six as superintend-ent.

The Board of Education feels

fortunate that in Dr. Aderhold ithas a highly qualified education-al leader who is ready to assumethe superintendency, said He-mant Marathe, president of theBoard of Education.

Dr. Aderhold has embracedthe districts mission and hasdemonstrated outstanding lead-ership in all areas of the dis-tricts educational program and

operations. Having served as ateacher, assistant principal, highschool principal, assistant super-intendent and deputy superin-tendent, David Aderhold hasbreadth and depth in his experi-ence.

He is a leader with vision whovalues building relationshipswith all constituents.

The Board of Education is ex-

cited that Dr. Aderhold is accept-ing the challenge to build uponthe leadership of his predeces-sors to lead WW-P.

When Adherhold was formallyappointed, he credited the com-munity for its support and thesuccess of the school districtthus far.

What we do would not be pos-sible without the support of theentire WW-P community. We

have amazing students and in-volved parents and guardianswho care deeply about their chil-drens progress and develop-ment, he said.

Our township officials andlocal law enforcement agencieshave been supportive of ourwork, and I look forward to ourcontinued partnerships. Thelevel of care and responsiveness

of the entire community is re-markable.I have enjoyed the opportuni-

ty to see our students excel bothin the classroom and beyond. Iam always impressed by theirlevel of skill and enthusiasm inall that they do, he said.

Our students are embracingthe 21st Century Competenciesthrough their academic, artisticand athletic accomplishments.
