FROM THE EDITOR Since today is April Fools’ Day, I have to admit, I was a bit tempted to pull a Sports Illustrated and try to get readers of Cache Magazine to bite on a totally unbelievable story.

Remember George Plimpton’s piece on Sidd Finch, the New York Mets’ prospect who could throw a baseball at 168 miles per hour? That was a classic gag from the April 1, 1985 issue of SI that some people

loved, while others got very angry about.

So, as fun as it would have been to write that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry are going to rock Why Sound tonight, I decided to take the easy way out and avoid getting into trouble with my higher-ups and hundreds of 15-year-old girls.

Instead, in honor of this weekend’s LDS General Conference in Salt Lake City, let me suggest a good way to spent 95 seconds of your time in between sessions.

If you visit youtube.com/user/WorkZoneCam, you’ll find a time-lapse video of the construction of the Provo City Center LDS Temple. Watching 19 months

worth of work is fascinating, although I have to admit to being just as intrigued by watching the seasons come and go on the mountains above Utah Valley.

It also made me wonder what a similar video of the construction of the Salt Lake City LDS Temple would be like.

Even if time-lapse video had existed — and the technology somehow stayed the same for four decades — I have to think that it would take more than a minute and a half to condense 40 years’ worth of construction.

‘Idol’ vows a ‘spectacular’ finale April 7

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “American Idol,” which gave the world Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson, has one more chance to mint a star before it fades into TV and music history.

Whether viewers choose a future chart-topper or trivia question remains to be seen.

But executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, who helped translate Britain’s “Pop Idol” into the Fox version that debuted in 2002, said the farewell episode will be memorable.

“It’s going to be a rather spectacular show,” Lythgoe promised, with all the former winners on hand along with past contestants and “other surprises” in the twohour finale.

“It’s about the American idols, about reminding people of 15 seasons,” he said, as well as giving the final winner his or her share of the spotlight.

The contenders for the title are finalists MacKenzie Bourg, 23, of Lafayette, Louisiana; Trent Harmon, 24, of Amory, Mississippi; La’Porsha Renae, 22, of McComb, Mississippi; and Dalton Rapattoni, 19, of Dallas.

The field will have been trimmed to three for the final competition episode, 8-9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, April 6, with the winner announced the next night, 8-10:06 p.m. EDT Thurs-

day, April 7. Lythgoe, who exited the series in 2013, returned to produce the concluding night’s broadcast.

Clarkson, the inaugural “Idol,” is set to perform, as are Underwood and the other winners including Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Jordin Sparks and Scotty McCreery. Among the many contestants taking part: Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry,

Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Elliott Yamin and LaToya London.

Past “Idol” finales became known for flaunting superstars, perhaps none more important than Prince. His performance in the 2006 season-ender signaled that the show had transcended its image as overblown karaoke and become a respectable showcase for established artists.

But Lythgoe downplays the importance of celebrities as part of the finale — or the contest itself.

“It isn’t about big stars coming on and singing their record. ‘American Idol’

was never about that. It was about the young stars we created,” he said.

Lythgoe can’t avoid a bit of impish humor involving a certain pair of divas, former judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, who famously clashed during their shared 2013 tenure.

“I’ve invited them back to the finale to sing ‘That’s What Friends Are For,’” he said.

Current judges Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban will help usher the show out.

“Along the Bear II” by Richard M. Garland

Logan watercolorist Richard M. Garland has been selected as the featured artist for Logan’s 2016 Summerfest Arts Faire, which will take place June 16-18.

Garland’s work will be on display during the CVCA Gallery Walk from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, April 8, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 85 E. 100 North Garland grew up in the small town of Oakes in eastern North Dakota. He earned a bachelor’s

degree in art education at Valley City State College, which is now part of the University of North Dakota.

He and his wife Deborah moved to Logan in 1974 and have called it home ever since. They have had a cleaning business to earn a living, but Garland has been a watercolorist for the past 30-plus years because he enjoys it.

His style is impressionistic and semi-abstract, using the local land-

Douglas to perform at USU Big Bands concert set for April 7 The Utah State University Big Bands and faculty ensemble Aggie Music Project will be joined by world-renowned jazz trumpeter, composer, arranger, band leader and record label owner Dave Douglas for a concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 7, at the Caine Performance Hall.

Tickets for the Big Bands performance are $10 adults, $8 seniors and youth, $5 USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID. For more information or tickets, visit the CCA Box Office in room L101 of the Chase Fine Arts Center, call 797-8022 or visit arts.usu.edu.

“I first noticed Dave Douglas’ music when he released his

scape for inspiration. The online magazine Artists of Utah (artistsofutah.org) wrote of Garland’s work, “As if to compensate for his high level of control, Garland uses abstraction to propel realism, rather than the other, more historical way ‘round. Many of his more striking images began with controlled explosions of color, which he then corralled and directed in keeping with See ARTIST on Page 10

wonderful ‘Soul on Soul’ CD,” Jon Gudmundson, director of jazz studies in the CCA, said. “After that record, I started to notice him everywhere playing in all kinds of settings, including edgy outings with John Zorn’s Masada quartet, beautiful collaboration with saxophonist Joe Lovano and his work with the German NDR Big Band.

“After hearing him playing at Red Butte Garden a few years ago on a program dedicated to the great Wayne Shorter, I was so knocked out by his unusual yet compellingly melodic playing that I decided we must try to get him here to work with our students.”

Besides performing with the student big bands Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Orches-

tra, Douglas will play a few of his group arrangements with the faculty ensemble Aggie Music Project.

The Thursday concert is part of a residency that includes clinics on improvisation, composition and trumpet, as well as open rehearsals and a free Wednesday night jam session at Blue Square from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Young Artist Cup Committee, in association with Mountain Crest High School’s performing arts department, will present the 17th annual Young Artist Cup Competition at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7, and Friday, April 8, at the MCHS Auditorium in Hyrum.

Admission to this event is free and everyone is invited to attend. Refreshments will be served each night.

The vocal and string competition is scheduled for Thursday evening, while the piano and winds/percussion competition is Friday.

This annual event showcases the musical talents of Mountain Crest High School students. Competitors vie for cash prizes (which substantially increased this year due to many generous donors) and trophies in six areas: graphic arts design, female and male vocalist, strings, winds/percussion and piano.

Awards will be given to first-, secondand third-place winners in each category.

The logo for this year’s Young Artist Cup was selected from submissions by students in a competition earlier in the year. The design of Ivy Rich was chosen to represent the 2016 Young Artist Cup. Past Cup participants have gone on to excel in music and the performing arts.

Utah State University’s public radio station, Utah Public Radio, will host Peabody Award winning public radio producers Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, the Kitchen Sisters, in Logan on April 4-7. Events include a multimedia Tanner Talks lecture at 7 p.m. Monday, April 4, in the USU Caine Performance Hall.

site (arts.usu.edu).

The Tanner Talks presentation includes personal stories by the Kitchen Sisters about their experiences sharing stories for programs on public radio, including the National Public Radio series “Lost & Found Sound” and “The Sonic Memorial Project.” The Kitchen Sisters also produced “The Hidden World of Girls” and “Hidden Kitchens” heard on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”

The series inspired their first book, “Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes, and More See LOGAN on Page 10

Comic Con FanXperience Getting a small taste of Salt Lake City’s annual gathering While it wasn’t my first rodeo, it was technically my first Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience experience.

Although I attended the very first Salt Lake Comic Con back in the fall of 2013, I hadn’t been back to any of the Comic Con events at the Salt Palace Convention Center since then. Comic Con FanXperience was basically created to keep the excitement rolling all year long, with the previous FanXperiences being held in April 2014 and January 2015.

Purposely smaller in nature than the fall Comic Con — this year, attendance was limited to 50,000 people, far less than half of September’s event — FanXperience 2016 was held last week, beginning with an appearance by real-life astronaut Buzz Aldrin on Thursday and ending with the Cosplay After Party late Saturday night.

Limited to a mere five hours on Friday, I missed out on events featuring big stars like Jeremy Renner and Kate Beckinsale on Saturday (and probably wouldn’t have crossed paths with Norman Reedus of the “The Walking Dead” even if he hadn’t canceled his appearance), but I was still able to experience quite a bit while seeking out photographs to illustrate this story.

Here’s a nearly minute-by-minute account of my opportunity to visit a whole new world — make that about a thousand whole new worlds — at the Salt Palace Convention Center last Friday: 9:32 a.m. — As I exit off of I-15 and head into downtown Salt Lake City, I immediately realize that things are different today when I spot a vehicle made up to resemble the Ghostbusters’ vehicle, Ecto-1. Unfortunately, the car is a rather new Chevrolet HHR, and not constructed on a classic Cadillac chassis like in the movies. However, I have to admit, that little HHR would be far easier to park on the crowded streets of New York City than a 30-foot long ambulance.

9:58 a.m. — I somehow manage to park, enter the Salt Palace

Convention Center, get my media credentials and secure a seat in the Grand Ballroom in anticipation of a Q&A session with “X-Files” star Gillian Anderson slated to begin at 10 a.m.

10:02 a.m. — The MC on the stage declares: “In Utah, we are known for ‘Dr. Who’ fans and for ‘X-Files’ fans.” Not being a fan of either “Dr. Who” or “The X-Files,” this comes as a surprise to me. After 25 years of living in Utah, I was under the impression we were mostly known for being fans of The Osmonds and fry sauce.

10:05 a.m. — After “X-Files” actors William B. Davis and Mitch Pileggi take a seat on the stage, I finally realize that Gillian Anderson is not coming. It turns out that there was a schedule change, and she’s not going to be on until 11 a.m. I’m a little upset, because I actually wanted to attend a panel discussion at 10 a.m. entitled “Rocky, the Cold War and Creed,” but figured it was more important to see Anderson’s Q&A. 10:17 a.m. — I find it interesting when Davis, known as “The Cigarette Smoking Man” on “The X-Files,” explains that he was a former smoker who started up again for his first appearance on the FOX series because he was “dedicated to the craft.” But as his character took on a bigger role, he eventually switched to herbal smokes because he found himself longing for more and more screen time.

10:25 p.m. — Immediately after leaving the Grand Ballroom, I encounter three girls dressed as Rey from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in the space of about four minutes. It would be a theme that would continue through the day, peaking with a family of four girls, all of whom were Reys.

10:35 a.m. — I spot a fan in one of the best costumes I’ll see the entire day — John Candy’s lovable Barf from “Spaceballs” — making a withdrawal from the See FANX on Page 8

FanX Continued from Page 6 ATM in the main foyer.

10:42 a.m. — I witness an attendee dressed up as a member of the Emperor’s Royal Guard pose for a photo next to the replica of Han Solo encased in carbonite. That seems about right.

10:50 a.m. — I take a photo of a little kid — at least I assume it was a little kid — wearing a Jawa costume from “Star Wars.”

10:48 a.m. — While making a trip to the men’s room, I can’t help but chuckle when I see a FanX attendee dressed up to look like a very accurate Aquaman washing his hands with … you guessed it … water. I fight the urge to take a photo because, you know, for some reason a lot of people get uncomfortable when you pull out a big Canon SLR and start taking photographs in a public restroom.

11:05 a.m. — Gillian Anderson is here! She’s really here! And she’s wearing a T-shirt that states, “moist in the anteroom.” This makes no sense to me — and I’m still a little confused after looking it up on the Internet — but then, the entire time she was on the stage, I was desperately trying to remember if she was Mulder or Scully.

11:20 a.m. — Anderson, who looks very good for being a year older than me, mentions that this isn’t her first visit to Utah. She explains that she has family here, “some of whom are Mormons,” a declaration which results in some cheers from the crowd.

11:27 a.m. — Anderson drops the first of three F-bombs in the span of about 30 seconds, leaving me to hope that her Utah Mormon relatives aren’t currently in the Grand Ballroom.

11:30 a.m. — When Anderson mentions the name of a specific “X-Files” episode, most of the crowd cheers wildly … leaving me feeling very out of place and wishing

“X-Files” star Gillian Anderson answers questions from fans last Friday during Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience 2016.

I could attend Seinfeld Con or M*A*S*H Con, if there were such a thing.

11:36 a.m. — Anderson tells an amusing story about a “fan” yelling at her, “Hey, I love some of your work.” She then uses two more F-words, then proceeds to answer a question from a 12-year-old girl flanked by her 8-year-old sister.

11:37 a.m. — It turns out the girls’ father is the actual “X-Files” fan, and “freaked out when he found out you were coming,” his daughter tells Anderson. She then asks for the father to stand before declaring him a “coward” for not coming up himself.

11:40 a.m. — “It was nice to meet you. Now go back and say ‘hi’ to your dad for me,” Anderson says to the girls with a sexy smile.

11:42 a.m. — I leave the Grand Ballroom and return to the south foyer just in time to witness a young man in a Utah State hat posing for a photo with Baymax from “Big Hero 6.” I briefly wonder if Baymax is being recruited by the Aggies to anchor the offensive line.

11:50 a.m. — Moments after wandering onto the vendor floor for the first time, I am greeted by members of the Alpine Garrison of the 501st

Legion — aka “Vader’s Fist” — the local garrison of “Star Wars” re-enactors. Following a photo op, a young man dressed as Luke Skywalker says, “See ya later, Dad,” as Darth Vader walks by. (Sorry, I should have said “spoiler alert” before typing that last sentence).

1:02 p.m. — As I wait for “Firefly” and “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” actress Summer Glau to take the stage in the Grand Ballroom, I notice that the man sitting across the aisle from me is holding a baby that can’t be more than three months old. Apparently he really likes Summer Glau.

1:20 p.m. — Glau, who has a 14-month-old daughter, reacts like any good mother would, and has to stop herself from getting up and leaving when she hears Milena crying backstage.

1:45 p.m. — I spot the same Aquaman from the men’s room now sitting at table, eating lunch and drinking … you guessed it … a Shock Top Belgian White beer.

1:47 p.m. — I start to wish I had a C-3PO-like droid — you know he speaks more than seven million different languages, right? — to help discern which superhero or alien creature I am currently

witnessing trying to eat at Peter Parker’s Pizza.

1:50 p.m. — Unlike the inaugural Comic Con, it now states “no photos” and “no press” in the area set aside for photo ops and autographs. I take this very personally.

1:52 p.m. — Times have definitely changed due to social media. At the first Comic Con, I paid $10 for a photo with my childhood hero, Dirk Benedict of “Battlestar Galactica,” and never even thought about giving up $40 for an autograph. Now it’s the reverse. While Jeremy Renner’s autograph on Saturday cost a whopping $100, a photo op with Hawkeye from “The Avengers” will set you back $125.

2:01 p.m. — George Takei — who is currently known by my children as the “quesalupa guy” thanks to his recent Taco Bell commercials — takes to the stage to easily the biggest standing ovation of the day as he gives the Vulcan salute.

While I’m not a “Trekkie” by any means, I do have a connection to “Star Trek” since the actor Jeffrey Hunter was the captain of the USS Enterprise in the original pilot episode filmed in 1964.

2:03 p.m. — Sounding quite presidential — much more so than his Donald Trump spoof for Taco Bell — Takei talks for the first 15 minutes about the diversity that made up the crew of the “Star Trek” TV series. However, I’m not sure it counts when he points out that Spock was half-Vulcan. (I mean, I don’t want to stereotype, but I went to school with some Vulcan kids, and they were all real jerks).

2:22 p.m. — When he finally gets around to answering some questions from fans, Takei shares the genesis of “Ohhhhh my.” It turns out that during a rather naive visit to “The Howard Stern Show” to promote his autobiography, Takei let loose with his catch phrase in response to Stern’s reference to a certain part of male anatomy. And apparently Stern still uses that sound bite

on a regular basis.

2:35 p.m. — As I slip to the back of the Grand Ballroom, I spot someone sitting in the next-to-last row, quietly listening to Takei speak … while dressed in a beautiful unicorn costume, which includes a lighted horn. Even in a place like FanX, this seems pretty unusual, especially when heor-she claps his-or-her hooves together when Takei cracks a joke.

2:37 p.m. — I take photo of Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy” on the first level of the Salt Palace Convention Center. But when I try to do the same thing from the upper level, it’s unbelievable how the huge, tree-like creature is camouflaged by the green and brown carpet he’s standing on.

2:50 p.m. — In addition to being far less crowded than the original Salt Lake Comic Con thanks to fewer people and more floor space, I realize the biggest difference between now and September 2013 is that two and a half years ago, there was no Rey or Kylo Ren to dress up as because “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” hadn’t even started filming yet.

2:52 p.m. — I spot a fan in one of the best costumes I’ll see the entire day — John Candy’s lovable Barf from “Spaceballs.” I know I already wrote that, but this Barf was a very attractive female. And since she doesn’t resemble John Candy in any way, she wins the Barf battle. I then decide it’s a good time to leave the Salt Palace Convention Center.

2:58 p.m. — Although I really need to get on the road and get back to Logan, I can’t help but linger around the front of the convention center for a few more minutes as FanX attendees pose for photos with replicas of characters from “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” You won’t believe what people would do to poor Gollum, even in broad daylight. But the most G-rated was definitely the little kid who said, “I want to give him bunny ears since it’s almost Easter.”

Today, Bernie Sanders finally combed his hair and sat in first class on Delta. He also clarified that education will not be free, and that students will at least have to work in fast food services for a year to pay for their

tuition and better appreciate the need for a college education. Health care will also not be free; you will have to donate a can of food as a copayment for each visit. You will also have to bring your own bag for prescription drugs and prostheses. He reaffirmed that if elected he will not yell at young people telling them to “Get off my lawn!” at the White House.

Sanders also confirmed that he doesn’t know anything about the military or international diplomacy, but he intended to search YouTube and Twitter for relevant videos if elected.

Hilary Clinton announced a trial separa-

She apologized for Benghazi, all the Wall Street money, Bill’s wanton behavior and suggested that her wardrobe detractors “get a damn life.”

‘Batman v Superman’ puts up huge numbers NEW YORK (AP) — Faster than a speeding bullet and impervious to lousy reviews, the superhero faceoff “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” rebounded from a smack down from critics to debut with a massive $170.1 million in North America, the sixth best opening of all-time.

The stakes were high for the Warner Bros. release, which cost $250 million to make and about $150 million to market. But the studio’s bid to launch a DC Comics universe to rival Marvel’s empire was met with persistent PR pains and numerous changes in the release date.

It fought skepticism over Ben Affleck’s casting as Batman and a barrage of bad reviews earlier in the week.

Things were bad enough to spawn a ubiquitous viral video of “Sad Ben Affleck,” which took the actor’s response to

the reviews and scored it with Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence.”

But the allure of seeing two of the most iconic superheroes battle it out was enough to set a record for the best pre-summer debut. “Batman v Superman” also grossed $254 million overseas, bringing its global total to $424.1 million for the weekend.

The mighty debut was met with a huge sigh of relief by Warner Bros. which invested its full marketing power in “Batman v Superman.” The film, directed by Zack Snyder, is the first of 10 DC Comics adaptations planned by the studio over the next five years. Along with pitting Henry Cavill’s Superman against Batman, it introduces a number of other heroes soon to get starring roles, including Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and the Flash (Ezra Miller).

Audiences gave the film a mediocre B CinemaScore, which suggested

some moviegoers agreed with critics. But many fans (a good number of whom bought tickets well in advance) were undeterred.

“There was a disconnect there between what critics wrote and the fan interest,” said Jeff Goldstein, head of distribution for Warner Bros.

huge amount of repeat business.”

“Batman v Superman” dominated Easter weekend with the kind of blockbuster performance usually reserved for Memorial Day or July 4th. In second was the Disney Animation hit “Zootopia,” with $23.1 million in its fourth week of domestic

release. The go-to family release of the season, it has earned nearly $700 million globally. Universal’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” a sequel to the 2002 hit romantic comedy, debuted with $18.1 million — effective counterprogramming to the male-centric “Batman v Superman.”

The best news comes out on this particular day, as irony is crushed by reality and your worst fears can be seen without virtual reality goggles.

This just in: Donald Trump shaves his head and dons (pun intended) a reasonablelooking hairpiece. Later in the day he not only converts to Islam, but he also adds two more trophy wives of different ethnicities to his shelf in an effort to appeal to both FLDS church members and diverse racial groups. “I love everyone everywhere. We all just need to be different separately and within enclosed spaces,” he declared.

Some thoughts for a foolish Friday in April

USU Dance Company presents ‘Let’s Dance’ Utah State University Dance Company presents its year-end Spring Showcase — the final concert of the academic year — at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 9, at the Ellen Eccles Theatre.

“Let’s Dance” will feature the company’s 28 student members in 18 numbers in a variety of styles including contemporary, hip hop and jazz.

One of the dances has been choreographed by Logan resident Fiona Katrine, a Julliard graduate in modern dance, who also taught the company fall semester in ballet and technique classes.

All other dances have been choreographed by members of the company.

The April 9 performance will reflect the growth of the company, now in its ninth year.

The USU Dance Company is a student-run performing group organized in 2008 by then-director Krissy Fry, to provide a creative outlet for

“It proves that the concept is bigger than negative reviews,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “There was no way that if you’re a comic book fan or just a movie fan that you’re going to miss out on a match-up of such iconic

Garland has painted a painting a day for several years. He generally frames his own work, prowling second hand stores and other places for vintage frames that he reuses.

Garland considers himself an amateur painter, but many in the Utah arts community would beg to differ. He says, “I don’t like to be a sentimentalist. If someone paints an old barn, the viewer isn’t looking at art, he’s looking at an experience he had in the past, and that’s sentimental.”

Garland’s painting “Along the Bear II” will be featured on the 2016 Summerfest Arts Faire poster and advertising, and Garland will have a booth at this year’s festival. He currently has a show at Fuhriman’s Fine Art.

several talented dancers on campus, after the school eliminated dance as an academic program. It has evolved from the Full Circle and Vilociti groups into its current form and is supported by USU’s Caine College of the Arts.

The company performs at campus events and conducts fundraisers during the school year, the largest of which is this year-end concert.

They also serve on the staff and as judges at the annual Utah Dance Fest event.

Officers are President Ginger Hislop, Vice President Lindsey Kossin and Treasurer Alex Anderson.

Tickets are available at the Ellen Eccles Box Office or online at cachearts.org. Those attending are encouraged to purchase tickets early as all seats are reserved. Tickets are $7 for USU students and children 3 to 13 years of age, and $10 for everyone else.

characters. Audiences have to see the movie for themselves.”

The big weekend also breaks a poor stretch for Warner Bros., which was hobbled by a number of underperforming releases like “In the Heart of the Sea,” ‘’Pan” and “Point Break.” If the estimate Sunday holds, “Batman v Superman” will be Warner Bros.’ best opening ever, topping “Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows Part 2” ($169.2 million).

although we try,” Goldstein said. “And we had a little bit of a dip in 2015, no question.

We always believed in our upcoming slate. We knew it was just a matter of getting to the films.”

Whether word-ofmouth will be good enough to help “Batman v Superman” maintain its record-setting pace in the coming weeks remains to be seen, but the March release date means it will have little competition. The film soaked up IMAX, 3-D and large-format screens, drawing a 62 percent

“At the end of the day, a superhero movie can be a box-office superhero any month of the year,” Dergarabedian said. “For Warner Bros., this is a seminal moment. It proves how quickly fortunes can rise and fall based on your slate of films. This was a bet that paid off really big for the studio.”

Warner Bros. will hope the success continues for its next DC Comics property, the all-villain team-up film “Suicide Squad,” due out in August.

“I only really associate great memories with being on that show,” he said. While some others are reluctant to credit their careers to “Idol,” he gladly admits it — and so, he points out, does one of the show’s biggest graduates.

“Even to this day, when Carrie Underwood accepts her Grammys and other awards, she says, ‘Thank you, ‘American Idol,’ this wouldn’t be possible,’” Hernandez said.

“I’m so thankful just to have fans in the Philippines or in Europe who say, ‘I remember you on that show. I bought

your album.’”

“Idol” was as much a boost for Fox as any of its young singers, ruling the TV ratings as the No. 1 series for an astounding nine consecutive years.

Lythgoe said he was confident that British megaproducer Simon Fuller’s “Pop Idol” format, with its unusual behind-the-scenes view of contestant auditions, would export well. And he told Fox executives just that.

recalled saying. “This was a family show at a time when family members were each disappearing into their own rooms to watch television.”

Although he firmly believed in it, he said, “Simon Cowell packed his suitcase for two weeks.”

While Cowell’s barbed criticism of contestants helped drive the show’s popularity, it also made for a rocky start with Abdul, who favored a more nurturing approach with the show’s young talent.

“Paula couldn’t understand how this English guy next to her could be so rude and ruth-

less,” he said. “So she was in tears a great deal of the time and terribly upset. Then to see them come together. ... Simon, Paula and Randy are the three judges that everybody will remember.”

Season six winner Sparks calls the show worthy of a grand send-off.

“It fulfilled so many dreams and encouraged so many people, even if they aren’t singers. There are people who watch the show and are touched by it. I’m sad that it’s going to be gone because of that, because of the lives that it touched.”

The Cache Carvers will meet from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, at the Cache County Senior Citizens Center, 240 N. 100 East. All levels of carvers are welcome.
