Anything But Typical - Not Only One Eagle Project But Two
Adam Andrews' official picture for his Eagle Scout award
Elaine Gold photographer
Adam Andrews seemed like a typical 8 year-old attending boy scouts, but now as a El Toro graduating senior, Adam is anything but typical.
On Sunday, Adam Andrews, from Rancho Santa Margarita, was recognized for earning his Eagle Scout rank in a court of honor held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His Bishop, Kirk Hess of Rancho Santa Margarita, spoke of Adam’s achievements to a packed audience. “When I think of Adam, I think of two words drive and ambition.”
This same drive and ambition lead Adam to complete not only one Eagle project but two. In his first project he organized a collection of clothing, shoes and cash which he personally delivered to Lima, Peru. Adam explains, “I chose to pursue this project because it is a part of my Peruvian heritage. Thanks to the connections that my grandfather made when he was being raised in Peru, I discovered a need and I wanted to help.”

The second one was a local project to build a 100-foot lodge-pole fence for the city of Mission Viejo. Adam comments, “The logistics in building a fence is difficult. For instance, making sure the location of the poles did not hit any existing pipelines and that the angles are appropriate for the interconnecting poles was a big task.” With the help, advice, and the support of his troop, leaders, friends, and family he was able to complete the project.
With labor from 26 volunteers from the Boy Scout troop 747 families and Wayne Mackey from the City of Mission Viejo Public Services Department, the 90-foot lodge-pole fence at the Abanico Open Space in Mission Viejo, California is complete. (Left to Right: Cameron Andrews, LF; Caleb Robertson LF, Kyle Hess, RSM; Rick Andrews, LF; Adam Andrews, LF; Cody Beckett, RSM; Zach Beckett, RSM; Wayne Mackey, MV; Jordan Gold, RSM; Randy Beckett, RSM; Zac Morgan, RSM; Corte Haggard, MV; and Marc Johnson, RSM.)
Picture: Sheila Andrews
Kirk Hess, told the court of honor audience, “If ever there was a young man that was ‘too busy for scouting’, it was Adam. He has a high school GPA of 4.7 and is graduating as a Medallion winner. In addition, he is not only graduating from high school but also earning an Associates degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Irvine Valley College in connection with the early college program. And last but not least, he recently accepted a scholarship to UCLA studying enginerring with a biomedical emphasis.” When asked about his troop, Adam says, “My favorite part of scouting is my association with other scouts. Having them by my side constantly was a huge part of my motivation.”

ABOUT SUNSET BOULEVARD
Sunset Boulevard weaves a magnificent tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition. Silent movie star Norma Desmond longs for a return to the big screen, having been discarded by tinsel town with the advent of "talkies." Her glamour has faded in all but her mind. When she meets struggling Hollywood screen-writer Joe Gillis in dramatic circumstances, their subsequent passionate and volatile relationship leads to an unforeseen and tragic conclusion.
The original Broadway musical, directed by Trevor Nunn with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a book and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, won 7 Tony Awards in 1995 including Best Musical. The lush score features such haunting classics as “With One Look,” “As if We Never Said Goodbye,” “The Greatest Star of All,” “The Perfect Year,” and the emotionally charged title song “Sunset Boulevard.” The 1950 film, directed by Billy Wilder and starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won 3, including 1 for Best Music. In 1997, it ranked as #12 on the American Film Institute’s Best American Films of the 20th Century.

Heartfelt songs made famous by one of America’s most beloved performers—Neil Diamond—along with rousing band marches and meaningful, award-winning film music drum up feelings of celebration and American pride at Pacific Symphony’s “July 4 Extravaganza,” featuring tribute band Super Diamond.
The original Diamond, considered to be the third most successful contemporary artist of all time on the Billboard chart, has sold more than 125 million records worldwide and has 10 number one hit singles.
Bringing the sound and essence of Diamond to the Symphony’s stage is Randy Cordeiro, with his husky, baritone impersonation, and band Super Diamond. Together they plan to rock Verizon Wireless Amphitheater with the American icon’s treasured classics, such as “Sweet Caroline,” “Song Sung Blue,” “America,” “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show” and “Heartlight.”
The concert, led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, kicks off the Symphony’s Summer Festival 2013 on Thursday, July 4, at 8 p.m. at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine. Tickets range from $25 (lawn seating) to $104 (orchestra seating); children under 14 are half price in most sections with the purchase of an adult ticket. Guests are welcome to picnic on the grounds of the amphitheater starting at 6 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
“It’s basically a concert in the park!” says Maestro Kaufman. “Make that a very big concert in the park. That’s how our July 4th celebration will feel. And it’s always a great treat to bring the vocal sounds of America’s most well-known entertainers; this year, we present the distinctive style of a terrific singer who has been at the forefront of popular music for decades: Neil Diamond. And when you add the symphony orchestra to the mix, it becomes even more thrilling!”
Summer Festival 2013, presented by Hoag Hospital, begins with an evening that includes a traditional salute to the U.S. armed forces, patriotic favorites such as “America the Beautiful,” “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “Liberty Fanfare,” and a breathtaking fireworks finale! The orchestra also honors the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg with the Oscar-nominated music of John Williams from the movie “Lincoln” and Randy Edelman’s triumphant theme music from “Gettysburg,” along with a dramatic reading of the Gettysburg address; and performs music by Alexandre Desplat from this year’s Oscar-winning film, “Argo.”
“Each year for this holiday we bring our audience the thrilling sounds and emotions of musical America,” says Kaufman. “This July 4th, we’ll play some of my favorite patriotic music from John Philip Sousa and remember the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg with inspiring film music.
It will be a night the entire family can be together to enjoy memorable music and exciting entertainment as Orange County celebrates the U.S.A.” Based in San Francisco, Super Diamond was formed more than a decade ago by its front man, Cordeiro, also known as “The Surreal Neil,” with founding members Matt Tidmarsh (bass guitar), Rama Kolesnikow (keyboards) and James Terris (keyboards), and soon after attracted the stellar talents of Chris Collins (guitar) and Vince Littleton (drums).
Since then, the band has performed sold-out shows across the nation in venues such as Irving Plaza in New York, 930 Club in Washington D.C., the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Fenway Park in Boston and numerous House of Blues locations.
The band has gained a reputation for transcending the label of “tribute band” by passionately immersing itself in Diamond’s huge repertoire and delivering a high-octane show of unforgettable classics. Notably, Neil Diamond himself was quoted on the “Today Show” saying, “I’ve met them and I have been to their shows—they’re wonderful!” And, in 2005 a question on “Jeopardy” appeared as “Super Diamond honors him…” Answer: “Who is Neil Diamond?”
Coming up, on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m., “The Planets” transports concertgoers to another galaxy. Featuring guest conductor Case Scaglione and guest violinist Caroline Goulding, the program includes Mozart’s Overture to the “Magic Flute,” his delightful Violin Concerto No. 5 and Holst’s exhilarating “The Planets,” as high-definition images from the Hubble Space Telescope are projected onto a large screen above—combined with the beautiful starry-night sky and outdoor setting, this concert is the perfect intergalactic multimedia event.
The Symphony’s Summer Festival 2013 is presented by Hoag Hospital with support from The Orange County Register and major sponsor Mercedes-Benz. The festival receives additional support from American Airlines, VIZIO, The Westin South Coast Plaza and media sponsors KUSC, K-EARTH, KPCC and PBS SoCal.
