    Tough Decisions Loom As Crews Seek White Rock Man Lost 10 Days In Cypress Mountain

    The Canadian Press, 22 Sep, 2015 12:51 PM
      VANCOUVER — Searchers are racing against time as they scour the West Vancouver backcountry, hoping to find any sign of a missing man.
       
      West Vancouver Police A/Sgt. Fred Harding says 52-year-old White Rock, B.C., resident Neville Jewell has now been missing for 10 days.
       
      Rescue efforts didn't begin until the weekend when an abandoned vehicle in the Cypress Mountain parking lot was traced to Jewell.
       
      Officers determined the inexperienced hiker was carrying few supplies on Sept. 12, when he texted a friend from the rugged Howe Sound Crest Trail between Cypress and Lions Bay, northwest of Vancouver.
       
      North Shore Rescue Team members are continuing search efforts, and Harding says a helicopter equipped with a thermal imaging camera has been called in.
       
      He adds some strategic decisions about continuing the search will have to be made soon, because clouds and rain are forecast on Thursday.
