PEOPLE — cont. WOMEN IN THE NEWS To date, Ina has applied her talent to three styles of decorative ceramics: the Hutzul designs which depict plant and animal/bird ornamentation, executed in brown, green and yellow colors; Tripillyan, ancient geometric patterns reproduced in terracotta, black and white; con temporary, for which the artist ultilizes new colors, glazes and techniques but conveys a Ukrainian flavor. “ In the Hutzul and Tripillyan patterns, I adhere strictly to the traditional elements of design and color,” emphasized Ina, “but in the contemporary category I allow myself a free hand,” she added. An example of Ina’s ingenuity is an exquisite poppy design on a drinking mug — in inverted relief. Geraldine Ferraro — Reaching for the Top. The 1984 presidential year may come to be known in the future as the year of Geraldine Ferraro. Headlined as “The Rising Star from Queens” by Time magazine, Ms. Ferraro has achieved a first in American political history — a woman nominated by a major party, Democratic in this case, for the office of the Vice President of the Uni ted States. Ms. Ferraro was born in Newburgh, NY to an Italian family. She attended Marymount School in Tarrytown, NY and Marymount College in Manhattan, graduating with a degree in education. While working as a teacher, she took law courses at Forham University, where she received her law degree. Married to John Zaccaro for 24 years, Geraldine Ferraro has retained her maiden name as a gesture of gratitude to her mother for support and encouragement in her formative years. The Zaccaro’s are parents of three children. Geraldine Ferraro went to Washington in 1979 as a liberal Democrat Congresswoman from a melting-pot district in Queens, NY after a four year stint as an assistant district attorney. Working her way up from lowly assignments in the House, she found a promoter and protector in House Speaker Tip O’Neil. She was elected secretary of the Democratic caucus, was put on the powerful House Budget Committee and ultimately attained the chairmanship of the Democratic platform committee. Ferraro’s views on national issues are strong. She is against deployment of the MX missile, opposes manda tory school bussing, supports tuition tax credits and is in favor of military draft. A Roman Catholic, Ms. Ferraro favors pro-choice on abortion as a matter of conscience. She is a staunch supporter of ERA as well as a co sponsor of a House bill liberalizing pensions for women. Ina Dzerovych, very excited with the recognition she received upon winning the “ Freddy” award, is look ing forward to a very prolific Fall and Winter season. She is also anxious to learn new styles and designs in Ukrainian ceramics, especially the Kiev and Poltava type. “Unfortunately”, lamented Ina, “these designs are very hard to come by.” But knowing her perseverance and desire to perfect her art, Ina will overcome all obstacles to achieve her objective. M arta B aczynsky Susan B. Anthony — Suffragist gets new recognition. The house where Susan B. Anthony was born will finally become a memorial to her life-long efforts in securing the right of women to vote. The suffragist did not live to see her 50-year campaign for this cause brought to frui tion. The 19th Amendment to the United States Consti tution securing women’s voting rights was adopted in 1920, 14 years after her death. Miss Anthony was born in Adams, Massachussetts in 1820. The house where she was born predated her birth by three years and has since seen many owners. The present owner, Dr. Alice Grellner, a professor at Rhode Island College plans to restore the building and turn it into a center where women can hold seminars to plan careers in politics and business.
