“(The 9/11 Stair Climb) gives everybody a chance to pause and remember 343 firefighters who died and what they sacrificed that day,” explained Lancaster 9/11 Stair Climb committee chair Scott Yuill. “It’s our chance to honor those 343,” added committee member Joyce Mokros. The eighth annual Lancaster 9/11 Stair Climb will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9, at the Lancaster Barnstormers’ stadium, 650 N. Prince St., Lancaster. Registration for participants will open at 8 a.m., and the event will start at 9 a.m. with a time of calisthenics. Bagpiper Heidi Tywalk will play “Amazing Grace,” and East Petersburg Fire Company (EPFC) chaplain Bob Kauffman will give an invocation. Participants will
begin climbing the equivalent of 110 flights of stairs at approximately 9:30 a.m. Moments of silence will be observed at the times the Twin Towers fell. The event will conclude in a new manner this year. The first 343 participants will receive a badge representing a firefighter who died in the World Trade Center collapse on Sept. 11, 2001. An additional group of people may receive badges representing police officers, as supplies are available. As individuals complete the climb, they may ring a bell and announce the name of the person whose badge they carry. Yuill explained that this new procedure is based on the method used in New York City to honor first responders who died in the line of duty. Prior to the introduction of two-way radios on fire trucks, a system of bells was See 9/11 Stair Climb pg 2
