2A ܂ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2018 ܂ APPEAL TRIBUNE Kitten Continued from Page 1A which was shaking like a leaf. “She was meowing and not very hap- py,” said Hawley, who went to work carefully peeling her paws off the pave- ment. “Her front feet came off easy, but her back feet were still stuck, so I peeled the glue off the road and took it with us. That was easier.” He bathed the kitten at the Kroc Cen- ter, first with Goo Gone, which he real- ized might not be the best solution to use on an animal. Then he used Dawn dish soap, a well-documented cleaning method in wildlife rescue after oil spills. Hawley later took the kitten to Silver Creek Animal Clinic, where she had her paws soaked in mineral oil and was treated by Dr. Jenny Bate. “She was still pretty sticky,” Dr. Bate said. “She still had quite a bit on her paw pads and stuck between her toes, and her belly and tail were really sticky. Airport Continued from Page 1A But due to the 5,000-foot runway length, some larger aircraft based out of Aurora take off with limited fuel and cargo, known as constrained opera- tions. Maass said many larger jets – such as those with 10 seats – flying out of Aurora first go to Portland International Airport or another airport to fill up with fuel be- fore going to their eventual destination. A study found more than 700 con- strained operations of planes taking off or landing at Aurora due to the shorter runway. The Oregon Department of Aviation applied for a $37 million grant to the Federal Aviation Administration to ex- tend the runway to 5,901 feet. “Keeping in mind the FAA will never fund anything on the basis of ‘if you build it they will come,’ right now we have enough aircraft operating at Auro- ra to justify it,” Maass said. The opposition Long before the Oregon Department of Aviation applied for the $37 million grant in August, there had been objec- tions to the plans, and multiple groups have objected to the expansion. The airport is in Marion County, but also will impact Wilsonville and Clacka- mas County as planes taking off from the airport fly over their municipalities. Clackamas County and Wilsonville have requested to cancel the applica- tion. Added jobs also could negatively im- pact the already busy roads in the rural area and Interstate 5. “We could add 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 jobs to the airport,” Wilsonville Mayor Ted Knapp said. “How are we going to do it?” And there are possible land-use is- sues. In the tentative runway extension plan, the additional 1,000 feet of runway would be on land already owned by Au- rora State Airport and zoned to be used for the airport. But the airport would still have to purchase a plot of land south of the cur- rent airport currently zoned Exclusive Farm Use. “What would go into the EFU land is the runway protection zone, which is a zone that we can’t have any structures or anything that’s going to cause an ob- struction to airplanes that are going to take off,” Maass said. Maass said the land to the south could be used for taxiways, or the taxi- way could be built adjacent to the ex- tended runway and would require Sticky the kitten’s fanbase is growing — her Facebook page had nearly 9,000 likes by early Monday afternoon. SPECIAL TO THE STATESMAN JOURNAL “Mineral oil is really good at getting glue or anything sticky out of fur.” During an examination, Dr. Bate found three small, round puncture wounds under her neck that looked to be a couple days old. It is not known what caused the wounds. “Keeping in mind the FAA will never fund anything on the basis of ‘if you build it they will come,’ right now we have enough aircraft operating at Aurora to justify it.” Matt Maass Oregon Department of Aviation State Airport Manager planes to back up prior to takeoff to use the full 5,901 feet for takeoff. The requisite Conditional Use zoning would be brought to Marion County. One conditional use review criteria for re-zoning EFU land is noise associat- ed with the use must not have adverse impact on nearby land uses. Cameron, who has spoken in support of the expansion, said the Marion Coun- ty Commissioners would consider the zoning changes if they are brought to the commission. During the 2018 State Congressional session, State Representative Rick Lew- is of Silverton put forth a bill that would have established new standards for ex- pansion of state airports onto land zoned Exclusive Farm Use, but the bill died in committee. Air traffic has grown substantially at Aurora State Airport over the years due to the large development of businesses near the airport. Aviation-related businesses have thrived at Aurora Airport, in part due to the airport’s proximity to Portland and lower costs compared with other small- er airports like Hillsboro and Troutdale. If larger aircraft could land at Aurora, it could bring in additional aircraft-re- lated businesses. “In the actual business of aviation, it’s growing like crazy anyway,” Salem Pilots Association board member David O’Keefe said. “For me, I could not see how it would impact Salem negatively.” In fact, O’Keefe said some pilots choose not to fly to Aurora because it is busier than similar regional airports. Scott Kelley, a recreational pilot who formerly flew frequently out of Aurora, said construction of the fight control tower in 2015 at Aurora State Airport had a bigger impact than the expansion of a runway would for airplane traffic. “I don’t see an extension of that run- way really having any significant effect on other pilots,” Kelley said. 2-year Since Horizon Air stopped commer- cial service at Salem Municipal Airport in 1993, there have been numerous, short-lived returns to commercial ser- vice, the last in 2011. A group of civic leaders including Sa- lem Area Chamber of Commerce is try- ing to bring back passenger service and is seeking nearly $2 million to do so. “Salem obviously would be the right place for any addition of commercial aircraft,” Cameron said. “Aurora is not looking for commercial aircraft at all.” A concern raised by opponents of Au- rora’s expansion is if the runway is ex- panded could commercial service be brought there instead of Salem. Paskell points out the challenges faced with returning commercial ser- vice to Salem – higher ticket prices and lack of choice in arrivals and departures compared with Portland International Airport – would make it difficult for an airline to justify moving operations to Aurora. And Aurora doesn’t have a terminal or an on-site fire department, things re- quired for commercial service. “It’s very difficult because you can get a ticket in Portland for 40 percent less than it would cost to fly out of Sa- lem,” Maass said. “I can never say never, but I’m probably 99.9 percent positive we would never have commercial ser- vice at Aurora.” What’s next? With so many civic bodies trying to get involved in the dispute, the Oregon State Legislature Emergency Review Board voted to send the matter to Ore- gon Solutions, a dispute resolution pro- gram at Portland State University to mediate. Bennett requested Salem be included in any discussions, but the city hasn’t been informed if it will be included. Oth- er civic bodies such as Marion County, Clackamas County, Aurora and Wilson- ville also want to be part of the resolu- tion. “As of today (October 24) I have had no contact from Oregon Solutions,” Knapp said. “Oregon Solutions has a history of doing a lot of good in this state. The timetable they have to bring this back in December is extremely short.” The matter is expected to be brought back to a state legislature meeting in December. bpoehler@StatesmanJournal.com or Twitter.com/bpoehler 2.30 % APY* Minimum deposit $1,000 2.60 % APY* Minimum deposit $1,000 3.05 % APY* Minimum deposit $1,000 Address: P.O.

Sticky’s story offered life’s lessons for their twin 11-year-old sons, Christian and Kai. “Everything I keep telling my kids is we just really needed some good news for this to be such an incredible story for everybody,” Hawley said. “The whole world needed a good story. “And for every jerk who would glue a cat to the road, 400,000 in the world would not.” Hawley’s Facebook post on Oct. 20 included a selfie with the kitten on his shoulder. His wife has since created a Facebook page, Sticky the Kitty, and the kitten’s fanbase is growing. She had nearly 9,000 likes by early afternoon on Oct. 22. “I’m glad people have found hope in this little kitten,” Hawley said. clynn@StatesmanJournal.com, 503- 399-6710, or follow on Twitter @Capi Lynn or Facebook @CapiLynnSJ.

It’s just awful.” Sticky, cold from all the baths, was fluffed up with a blow dryer and given a dose of flea control medication before going home with Hawley. The kitten will start her vaccine regiment next week. Lucky would have been an appropri- ate name, too. “She was really lucky,” Dr. Bate said. “I’m just so glad for people in the world that will stop and take kittens off the road.” The response to Hawley’s heroics has been overwhelming and humbling. He’s received emails from all over the world, including Australia, Portugal, Spain, Scotland, and England. One of the latest came from an Iraqi news out- let, where permission was requested to translate the story into Arabic.
