LCSA Seeks To Put Graduates to Work BY JEFF FALK

It takes a STEM (science, technolog y, engineering and math) alliance. It takes Lancaster County STEM Alliance (LCSA). “In the business community, there was a lot of talk that students were graduating and needed to Participants in a Lancaster County STEM Alliance conference exchange R122419

Andora Is Right Back Where It Started From BY GEORGE DEIBEL
T h e y g o t t h e b a n d b ac k together. Formed in 1975 while students at Hempfield High School, members of the group Andora reunited in 2022, and it feels so good. Andora consists of Lancaster Township resident T homas Richards, who sings and plays the rhythm guitar; Ron Sharpe of Millersville, who plays the bass and sings; East Earl resident David Chambers, who does vocals and plays the guitar; and drummer Curt Ruhl of Denver. Richards and Chambers started playing music together in East Petersburg when they were approximately 10 years old. “We had the entire band packed in a little red wagon,” said Richards. “It was one drum, one cymbal, (Chambers’) amp, and a guitar.” Sharpe and Ruhl joined about six years later. “I don’t know how we all got together, but I do remember that the first big thing we played was a Battle of the Bands at Hempfield High School,” Richards said. “We had a very unusual rehearsal spot. We rented a storage unit at a place called Stowaway. I think they had one plug for power, no heat. But we’d rehearsed there, and we rehearsed at somebody’s house. We played a Battle of the Bands, and we won.” The group settled on the name Andora, but the details are a bit fuzzy. Sharpe pointed out that on the television show “Bewitched,” Samantha’s mother’s name is Endora. There is a country on the Iberian Peninsula named Andora.
