Rescue team does not question calls Dear Editor: Permit. me-to offer.a. further comment to. the North Shore _-News story. titled “Lost hiker angers search team" of July 19.1 don’t -want: the community to misinterpret. the’ views 4 “expressed in: the preparation ‘of : this article. _ “ Tdon’t believe- that anyone from North Shore. . Rescue » expressed “anger” in the numer- ous interviews given to newspa- pers, radio or television networks covering the story of Jacob ‘Hauser who tured up safe after | “several days of wandering around the North Shore: “and Stanley Park. Your readers should know that , although Mr. Hauser did not, in the end, need our help, and that some sense of frustration is inevitable in ~-eases like this, he was nonetheless -a,“missing person” to his family and police and as ‘such his disap- pearance \was a legitimate cause : for search | Operation. This’ is’: what” North Shore Rescue does. The team does not question ‘motives: or..causes for calls for, assistance :from the , police. Every missing person — “No “matter “. what» the cause: —~ “receives: the full attention of the “rescue team, , ‘As evidence of this, consider’ ‘the continued search on Saturday, July 15, even: when “it” seemed clear that “Mr. Hauser ‘did: not want to be found, and would not ° “answer the searchers’ calls. North Shore Rescue mounted NES a full search that day covering some of the less travelled parts of Grouse Mountain. Would the team go out again under similar circumstances? Of course it would. ' So, it's not the cause or motive that’s important; it’s the determi- nation to save ‘a life, or reduce suffering; if not for the missing ‘person then at least for the anx- tous family waiting at home. This is what North Shore Rescue offers the community. Rescue team volunteers (and they are all volunteers) do not judge and do not allow the. rea: sons behind a person’s disappear- ance to cloud their. sense of pur- pose. iMy comments in your earlier article on the cost of this search were not intended to infer that the time and money were wasted, nor that Mr. Hauser should pay these ' costs. They were made in answer . to questions asked by a number of the media, and with hope that others who may choose to “drop out” for a few days will remem- ber: that all missing persons ‘are Subject to a'search and that there are associated costs along with personal sacrifices and risks that will be assumed. by volunteers who will undertake. this commu- nity service, Mz.
