8A • COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL • OCTOBER 10, 2018 TREND from A1 aft er former city councilor Amy Slay stepped down af- ter a moved across town and out of city limits barred her from keeping her seat. It re- sulted in the city of Cottage Grove losing its only elect- ed female other than the three female members of the South Lane School Board and drew attention to the fact that no elected, appoint- ed or hired female was in a position of leadership within the city. Th e issue was examined in a February article in Th e Sen- tinel. “I think a lot of people saw the article and realized there was a lack of women running and there are several move- ments nationwide of wom- en standing up and running for these things,” said Ash- ley Rigel, who is running for the seat currently held by councilor Mike Fleck. “I feel like a bunch of women are just busting through that glass ceiling and women are seeing that there’s a lot of encouragement from other women now.” Nationwide, women are running for offi ce in record numbers; and winning. In August, 219 women won their primary elections for a chance at a seat in the House or Senate. Dozens of women have tossed their hat into the ring for local county races and, while the U.S. has never seen more than nine female gov- ernors in offi ce at one time, this year there is an opportu- nity for 13 women to occu- py their state’s top executive offi ce. refi nement plan. But, I do think women can have a dif- ferent view, a diff erent way of approaching things and I think having a woman on the council is an asset.” Hermansen was less in- volved in local politics and more involved in the school the three candidates can be elected to the board. “As I was attending the meetings and listening Greg Ervin’s comments about bringing his young fami- ly out into the community I just think that’s what we need,” said Hermansen. “My daughter is 12 and as a woman, I was her to know these options are there. I work full time and volun- teer my time but I want her to know she has all kinds of options in the world. If think of running yourself so it perpetuates itself,” Spencer said. “It’s hard to develop the idea of ‘I want to be a may- or’ on your own … Th ere is a confi dence gap with wom- en in running the rigors of campaigning,” she add- ed. “Asking for money, it’s “I just realized I was in all of these things and I thought, ‘Huh, maybe I’m not bad at this. Maybe I can do this.’ And early on someone had told me, ‘You should run for council.’” women don’t step up, how will out daughters know they can?” Rigel, Lamb-Solsbee and Hermasen are joined by Christy Inskip who is run- ning for the House District 7 seat against Cedric Hayden. All eight candidates for city council took part in a candidate forum that occurred aft er Th e Sentinel’s print deadline on Tuesday night. Th at story can be read online at www.cgsentinel.com. MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT BEGINS OCTOBER 15TH Do you need to Review next years choice? — Jill Hermansen, City Council candidate When the Cottage Grove Area Chamber of Com- merce was working toward bringing a celebration to honor the fi lm “Animal House” to Cottage Grove, Candace Lamb-Solsbee had a lot of opportunity to come before the city council and said she did notice a voice missing. “For me, running wasn’t necessarily that there weren’t any women but being a busi- ness owner, I thought we could use a small business advocate on the board es- pecially with the changes coming with the downtown district, her local church and Habitat for Humanity, be- fore deciding to run. “I just realized I was in all of these things and I thought, ‘Huh, maybe I’m not bad at this. Maybe I can do this.’ And early on someone had told me, ‘You should run for council.’” According to Dr. Barbara Spencer, chair for the Ore- gon Commission for Wom- en, it’s not unusual for wom- en to be the last people in their lives to initiate the idea of running for offi ce. “If you don’t see women up there, you oft en don’t ^LTHRLP[LHZ`[V Use Your Time Wisely >OL[OLY`V\»YLJH[JOPUN\WVUJ\YYLU[L]LU[ZYLHKPUNPUKLW[O HUHS`ZPZVMSVJHSPZZ\LZJSPWWPUNJV\WVUZVYWSHUUPUN`V\Y^LLRLUK [OL[PTL`V\ZWLUKYLHKPUN[OLUL^ZWHWLYPZX\HSP[`[PTL[OH[ LUYPJOLZ`V\YSPML^P[ORUV^SLKNLUL^ZO\TVY]HS\LPUZPNO[ZMYLZO WLYZWLJ[P]LZHUKT\JOT\JOTVYL 3\UJO;PTL 4VYUPUN;PTL Call Paul to help simplify the complicated. something women oft en do not like to do.
