At a meeting Tuesday, the commission will consider a request to place property it owns south of Northwest Seventh Street in a conserva- tion trust. Commission associate director Charles Denight said the commission’s advi- sory committee meetings are usually attended only by the members of the committee. Portland man found near Pilot Rock By PHIL WRIGHT East Oregonian A Portland man who went missing Tuesday in the Blue Mountains east of Pendleton turned up safe more than 48 hours later at a home near Pilot Rock. Jeffrey Ryan Kelsay, 30, was wet and hungry when search and rescue workers reached him, the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office reported, but was not harmed. Kelsay was headed to Baker City, according to the sheriff’s office, when his car apparently ran out of gas on Interstate 84 at milepost 235 near Emigrant Springs State Park. An Oregon Department of Transporta- tion employee saw Kelsay at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and Kelsay contacted his father about an hour later and told him he was walking toward Pendleton. Sheriff’s Sgt. Dwight Johnson, county search and rescue supervisor, said Oregon State Police searched for Kelsay before reporting him missing about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Johnson said he conducted a “hasty” search of the area for about four- and-half hours, then he and the team kicked it into higher gear Wednesday at sunrise. Trackers were on his trail along Interstate 84 about a mile-and-half eastbound of his car, Johnson said, but Kelsay then veered into the woods. Local farmer Kent Madison took to Kelsay the air in his heli- copter to help, and searched for about three hours. Spot- ting a missing person from the air over forest, Johnson said, is difficult at best. Johnson said he grew concerned as the search went on. He hiked the area Kelsay went through, and while it is not the toughest terrain in the county, it is a forest with rock bluffs and steep slopes. The weather also was taking a turn Thursday, he said, with snow possible as low as 4,000 feet. Johnson said he and the team were making plans Thursday night for how to use search and rescue resources coming from Malheur County, when dispatch took a call at 10:41 from a man who said Kelsay was on his front porch. The location was about eight miles as the crow flies from the last sighting of Kelsay, Johnson said. The homeowner brought Kelsay in, gave him a jacket and some warm food. The rescue team arrived around midnight and gave Kelsay a bottle of water and a spare lunch, which Johnson said he devoured. Johnson said Kelsay was tired, cold and wet and difficult to understand. He could not provide a complete account about what happened, though he stated he never slept, had waded though a creek and walked though two nights. He also had not suffered any apparent injuries, Johnson said, in spite of a lack of rugged clothes and wearing something like “deck shoes.” The sheriff’s office reported 22 search and rescue personnel worked approximately 278 hours attempting to find Kelsay. The team brought him to the Red Lion Hotel, Pendleton, where his family had waited since Wednesday. They had a family reunion there around 1 a.m. “That was really nice,” Johnson said. “That made it worth while.” ——— Contact Phil Wright at pwright@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0833. 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low NATIONAL CITIES Today Albuquerque Atlanta Atlantic City Baltimore Billings Birmingham Boise Boston Charleston, SC Charleston, WV Chicago Cleveland Dallas Denver Detroit El Paso Fairbanks Fargo Honolulu Houston Indianapolis Jacksonville Kansas City Las Vegas Little Rock Los Angeles Hi 84 77 57 55 65 77 54 54 78 70 76 67 84 83 69 93 62 85 84 87 73 82 77 84 77 74 Lo 55 59 49 45 40 56 37 46 60 50 55 52 64 47 51 63 42 54 74 64 55 63 57 61 55 56 W s t r r sh pc pc c t pc pc pc s pc pc s pc s sh s pc t s s s pc Sun.

PENDLETON But the May 4 committee meeting was attended by more than 30 people who wanted to talk about the land. “It was a huge crowd for the advisory committee,” he said. The commission has long owned four acres by the river, but it wasn’t until the city subdivided the land to make it more attractive for housing developers that it drew the attention of Seventh Street residents Jim and Peg Willis and others that were concerned that housing would change the green space to its detriment. The same members sit on both the commission and the Pendleton City Council, and they’ll consider monetary 60s National Summary: Rain and wind will blast the Northeast as storms reach the southern Atlantic Seaboard today.
