Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Sen. George Voinovich's offiCe announced this past week. The money, part of more than $1 .3 million FAA is releasing for 13 Ohio airport projects, will be used for the Galli aMeigs airport's master plan study, a relea se from Voinovich's office said. "I'm pleased that these Ohio airports will be able to improve their services through these vital funds," the senator said. "It is critical that we continue to improve the safety and efficiency of our airports ." · · Among the 13 projects are two others from southern The Vinton C!mnty Airport .will be awarded $155,037 for obstruction removal and safety improvements, and the Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport will · net $38,760 for installation of perimeter fencing and rehabilitation of a runway. . Voinovich, the former Cleveland mayor, Ohio governor and 1958 graduate of Ohio Uni versity, was in the area last week to discuss a variety of topics. including high gas prices and the need for secure domestic energy supplies in Gallipolis to unfunded mandates at the School of Leadership and Public Affairs that nears hi s name at OU. And in a move dear to Ohio River con stituents, Voinovich af1nounced that after the Labor Day break, he will introduce legislation to continue the Delta Queen's 40year exemption from the Safety of Life at S,ea Act. The act, which does not cover riverboats, has prompted nine exemptions by Congress since 1968, but legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot of Ohio last year to allow another exemption has since been mired in committee. The current exemption for the Delta Queen, one of the last passenger sternwheeler vessel s on the Ohio and Mississippi, expires on Nov. l . lfthe exemption isn' t granted, the Delta Queen will be drydocked. ' Voinovich announced the exact language of hi s-bill is tO be announced later this month or in September. Vicki Webster, leader of the Save the Delta Queen campaign, hailed the news. "'We are confide.nt that members of Congress will respond to the wishes of their constituents and vote to keep· the Queen alive and plying the rivers for generations to come," she said. · · I • A fourth square.

The sooner Americans wake up to the fact Jhat China is a brutal, repressive communist regime that aspires to usurp America's sole superpower status (and one day i11vade the U.S. and take over, just wait and see). the sooner the U.N. and world powers might .muster the collective guts to put th" pressure on China to stop its active support of the atrocities· in Darfur through its supplying of arnis to Sudan's Janjaweed butchers. America has already forgotten how to make anything, having ceded her , global manufw;turing leadership and prowess to China's slave labor factories ; have we ai'so forgonen our core founding principles- freedom, democracy and the golden•rule?

Jones added, "Historically, this has been something we have done quite well; we are . relearning those lessons in the 21st century." . Jones is right - preventing conflict is not a new idea - it was the operating principle throughout the Cold War and why that war, for the most part, seldom got hot. As Gates. told the Global Leadership Campaign, it ·was not just "America's military forces and intelligence capabilities" that "held the Soviets at bay for more than four decades." There was also the. Agency for International Development working to pull people out of poverty, diplomats defusing dicey situations, and the presence of the U.S. Information Agency providing a place to learn about "our history and culture and values." But, Gates told NPR, that all changed after the Soviet Union fell apart.

"Actor/comedian Berni e · Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumOnia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist. Danica Smith. said in a statement from Los Angeles. She said no other details were available and asked that his family 's privacy be respected. The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflam- matory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recent- · ly was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease. He was one of "The Original Kings of Comedy" in the 2000 documentary of that title that brought a new generation of black standup comedy stars to a wider audience. "The majority of his ·core fan base will remember that when they r,aid their money to see Bernie Mac ... he gave them their money's worth," Steve Harvey, one of his costars in "Origi nal KingS:" told CNN on Saturday.

"Actor/comedian Berni e · Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumOnia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist. Danica Smith. said in a statement from Los Angeles. She said no other details were available and asked that his family 's privacy be respected. The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflam- matory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recent- · ly was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease. He was one of "The Original Kings of Comedy" in the 2000 documentary of that title that brought a new generation of black standup comedy stars to a wider audience. "The majority of his ·core fan base will remember that when they r,aid their money to see Bernie Mac ... he gave them their money's worth," Steve Harvey, one of his costars in "Origi nal KingS:" told CNN on Saturday.

At last playing its longsought role as Olympic host , China opened the Summer Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power. Disasters, environmental problems and human-rights disputes preceded the games, and questions abound about how they will unfold.

A spokeswoman at We st Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh wot1ld not comment on his condition Friday.

Walter sent the woman and the children out of the house and up a hill to call 9-1-1, and the hous~ exploded about I 0: 15 p.m., Abdalla said. It was ·unclear what Walter was doing or whether he was near the house at the time. The woman and children were not hurt. E1nergency responders told WTOV-TV the initial blast was followed by I 0 more explosions from what they believe was ammunition and fuel inside the home . A neighbor reporle.d .LeeJing the impact of .the glast more than a mile away. Walter rebuilt his home after previous fires, Abdalla said . Explosions destroyed his houses along County Road 5t'i in 200 I and 2003, and a third blast and fire in 2006 damaged the . house and attached garage, Abdalla said . The cause of a house explosion in 2003 was undetermined, though the family had reported a propane leak before the fire occurred. Southern at Federal Hocking (Oxbow), 4:30 p.m. Wadnoadav.

At last playing its longsought role as Olympic host , China opened the Summer Games in spectacular fashion Friday with an extravaganza of fireworks and pageantry dramatizing its ascendance as a global power. Disasters, environmental problems and human-rights disputes preceded the games, and questions abound about how they will unfold.

The centerpiece was the parade of athletes, climaxing with the entry of the 639-strong Chinese team .

Politics, paaeantrv blend tor Bush at OIVmalcs BEIJING (A P) President Bush reveled in the spectacular openmg moments of the Olymptcs on Friday, but a burgeomng crists stole some of his attenuon as Russm and Georgia neared the bnnk of all-out war Buoyant from hts pep talk to U.S. athletes, Bush got a coveted spot inside China's Nat10nal Stadtum and cheered their entrance to an extravagant opening ceremony "Go for 11 1 Givt it all you· ve got!'" the president had urged Amenca's competitors. Bush, a big sports fan. plans to spend much of the weekend watching basketball: swimmmg and other competitions, and he went mou ntain btktng Saturday morning. A real-world standoff, though. served as a reminder that the prestdent IS never off duty. Ru ssia sent columns of tanks and reportedly bombed GeOigtan atr bases Friday after Georgta launched a maJor mtlitary offenstve ear-· her m the day to retake the breakaway provmce of South Ossetia. The fas t-changing hostihlies threaten to igmte a broader confltct m the region After attendmg the opening ceremony. Bush spoke about the crisis with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and n<ItiOnal security adviser Stephen Hadle_y. Bush gave them "tnstructtons on what should be communicated to the partie s," White House press secretary Dana Penno sat d. Bush also got a fre sh briefmg on Saturday tn Beijmg. He had spoken about the matter wtth Russian Prime 1 China from PageBl PreSident Bush and Ru ssian Prime Mmister Vladmur Putm were among the gltttering roster of notables who endured heat and humtdity to watch China make thts bold declaration thut it had arrived. Bush, rebuked by Chma after he raised human-nghts concerns thiS week, is the first U.S president to attend an Olympics on foretgn sotl. • AIready an economic powerhouse, China is given a good chance of overtaking the U.S. atop the goldmedal standmgs ,with its legions of athletes trained mten sely smce chtldhood One dramattc showdown wtll be 10 women 's gymnasl!cs, where the us. and Chmese teams are cofavontes; in the pool, Chmese dtvers and U.S. swimmers are expected to dommate. The run-up to the games had powerful story lines Chma investin& $40 btllion to build Olymptc infrastructure, reeling !rom the Stchuan earthquake, struggling nght through Friday to dimtmsh the stubborn smog that enveloped the stadium . known as the Btrd' s Nest. Chma's detentions of political activists, 1ts crackdo\\'n on upnsmgs in Tibet and Its economic ues to Sudan ~ home of the war-torn Darfur regiOn fueled persi stent cnticisms from h,uman nghts groups and calls for an Olympic boycott.' Second-gu~.ssed for awarding the games to BeiJing seven years ago, the lnternauonal Olympic Committee stood firmly by its deci ston It was lime , the committee said, to bring the games to the homeland of 1.3 btllion people, a fifth of humanity. "For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and mviting the world's athletes to BeijinP, for the Olympic Games,' IOC president Jacques Rogge said in his speech. "Tomght, that dream comes true.'· Ro gge mentioned the earthquake, saying the world was moved "by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people." And he ex horted the assembled athletes, as role models for the world 's youth, to "reject doping and cheati ng." ' The story presented tn Fnd.iy\ pageantry sought to tl!st tll 5,000 yeaps of Chmese hi story - featuring everything from the Great Wall to opera puppets to astronauts, and highlighting Minister Vladimir Putin as the two happened to be together for an Olympic luncheon of world leaders. "We will contmue to be enlJ:aged," Perino said in Betjing as the United States called for an immediate cease-ftre and sent an envoy to the region. • The president's open agenda on Saturday reflects his intention to soak in the Olympics and enjoy some family time. Hts only official events were a meeting with corporate sponsors m the late afternoon , followed by women's basketbalL Bush got to go mountrun btking on the Lao Shan course early Olympic Saturday with Secret Service agents and aides. He still speaks fondly of his vigorous nde there m 2005 with contenders fo[ Chma's Olympic btking team. The president, dressed in a green T-shirt and black shorts, spent more than an hour biking As he left in his motorcade, he was seen dabbm~ at hts face wtth a towel Ftrst lady Laura Bush broke off to tour the sprawlin?., ancient Forbidden City. 'It was spectacular. Really un believable," she said while posmg briefly for photos with Chma's former mtmster of culture, Sun Jiazheng. Mrs. Bush then motioned daughter Barbara over for photos "We've had a very fun famtly visit," Bush said. "It's been a very nice family time for us." She moved on, fanning herself with a fan decorated will) the five Betjmg OlympiC mascots. The pace harkened back to the promise Bush made before the trip about his own itinerary. "''m pretty relaxed about 11," he said. "Not every single minute of every day has to be totally organized. I'll be with a lot of my family, and ~iJ::!: fun to hang around achievements m art, mustc and science. ' Roughly 15,000 people were in the cast and- crew, all under the direction of Zhang Yimou, whose early films often ran afoul of government censors for their blunt portrayals of China's problems .. He produced some maJestic and ethereal imagery. At the start, 2,008 drummers beat out a pulsating rhythm wtth their hands. Later, a huge, translucent globe emerged from the stadium floor, and acrobats floated magically around it to the accompaniment of the games' theme son~, "One World, One Dream. ' It ended sensationally, when China's first Olymptc superstar, former triple gymnasucs gold medalist Li Ning, was hoisted by wires to the top of the stadium, circled the cin;umference as though he were spacewalkmg and then touched the torch to a thin pipe, setting off a spiral of flame to ignite the mammoth, scrollshaped cauldron overlookmg Beijing. Lt, now 44, whose six medals total 'at Los An~eles in 1984 signaled Chma's intention to be a sports powerhouse, admitted to being nervous about "the best memory of my ltfe." Li had trained for his part for a month. "The bi~gest proble~ is the wind,' he satd. ' Every time I must balance myself in the air and hold the torch as close to the cauldron gas outlet. But every time the wind blew m different direction s." 'r:here were no such problems Friday, and when it was over, Li basked in his success. "That moment," he proclaimed, "means China is standing side by side with the rest of the world." The show's script steered clear of modern politics there were no references to Chairman Mao and the class struggle, nor to the more recent conflicts and controversies. A re~ord 204 delegations paraded their · athletes through the stadium superstars such as tennis great Roger Federer and basketball's Kobe Bryant, as well as plucky underdogs from Iraq, Afghanistan and other embattled lands. The nations marched not in the traditional alphabetical order but in a sequence based on the number of strokes it takes to wnle their names in Chinese. The exceptions were Greece, birthplace of the Olympics, which was given its traditional place at the start, and the Chinese team, which lined up last. The U.S. team - second'. Those family members mclude his daughter Barbara, brother Marvin, sister Doro, and his dad, former President Bush, who introduced him to China as a former envoy to the country in the 1970s. Father and &on stood with each other at the new U.S. Embassy in Beijing on Friday, a striking tableau of two presidents who spoke of U.S.-China relations - and their own. "I am so very proud of him," the former president satd. President Bush srud, "It is quite an honor to be introduced by your dad." Being at the Olympics has one side effect for Bush later bed times. Some big events don't even start by the time Bush would normally be sleeping. He . plans to anend a U.S.-China basketball game, for example, that tips off after I0 p.m. local time. The president's enthusiasm for the games comes up at every event. He greeted the U.S. team at the Olympic fencing center and seemed almost at a loss of words. "I wasn't exactly sure what to say to you, except to start wtth, God, I love our country and I love what we stand for. And I love being with you," Bush said. largest after China's with nearly 600 members - was welcomed loudly, with many in the crowd recognizing Bryant and other basketball stars who brought up the rear. Bush rose from his VIP seat to wave at the athletes, nattily dressed in white trousers, blue blazers, red-white-and-blue-striped ties and white caps. "It was a breathtaking experience walking into the stadium," said Oganna .Nnamani, a volleyball player from Bloomington, Ill. "I am thankful to be part of this moment." "This ts the biggest stage," said LeBron James, who hopes to lead the U.S. basketball team to a gold medal. Among the flag-bearers were basketball stars Dirk Nowitzki of Germany and, Manu Ginobili of Argentina, and South African swimmer Nathalie Du Toit, who lost her lower left leg in an accident and made history by qualifying for both the able-bodied games and the Paralympics. The American flag-bearer was 1,500-meter runner Lopez Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who spent a decade of his youth in a refugee camp in Kenya. He's a member of the Team Darfur coalition, represen'mg athletes ()pposed to China's support for Sudan. On Friday he avoided any criticism and said the Chinese "have been great putting all these things together." Abroad, human rights activists were less generous. ' "The Chmese goverpment and the International Olympic Committee have wasted a historic opportunity to use the Beijmg Games to make real progress on human rij;lhts in China," said Sophte Richardson of Human Rights Watch. Few Olympics-related disturbances were reported in China. But in Katmandu, Nepal, hundreds of Tibetan exiles demonstrated outside the· Chinese embassy, demanding an end to what they say IS Beijing's brutal rule. In Turkey, an antiChina protester set himself on fire. By all indications, the Chinese have overwhelmingly embraced the games, buying up tickets at a record pace, volunteering by the thousands for Olympic duties, nursing expectations of triumphs by their home team. To their eyes, the omens were good. The ceremony began at 8 p.m . on the eighth day of the eighth month of 2008 - auspif ious in a country where . eight is the luckiest number. .

Chma's detentions of political activists, 1ts crackdo\\'n on upnsmgs in Tibet and Its economic ues to Sudan ~ home of the war-torn Darfur regiOn fueled persi stent cnticisms from h,uman nghts groups and calls for an Olympic boycott.' Second-gu~.ssed for awarding the games to BeiJing seven years ago, the lnternauonal Olympic Committee stood firmly by its deci ston It was lime , the committee said, to bring the games to the homeland of 1.3 btllion people, a fifth of humanity. "For a long time, China has dreamed of opening its doors and mviting the world's athletes to BeijinP, for the Olympic Games,' IOC president Jacques Rogge said in his speech. "Tomght, that dream comes true.'· Ro gge mentioned the earthquake, saying the world was moved "by the great courage and solidarity of the Chinese people." And he ex horted the assembled athletes, as role models for the world 's youth, to "reject doping and cheati ng." ' The story presented tn Fnd.iy\ pageantry sought to tl!st tll 5,000 yeaps of Chmese hi story - featuring everything from the Great Wall to opera puppets to astronauts, and highlighting Minister Vladimir Putin as the two happened to be together for an Olympic luncheon of world leaders. "We will contmue to be enlJ:aged," Perino said in Betjing as the United States called for an immediate cease-ftre and sent an envoy to the region. • The president's open agenda on Saturday reflects his intention to soak in the Olympics and enjoy some family time.

'It was spectacular. Really un believable," she said while posmg briefly for photos with Chma's former mtmster of culture, Sun Jiazheng.

She moved on, fanning herself with a fan decorated will) the five Betjmg OlympiC mascots. The pace harkened back to the promise Bush made before the trip about his own itinerary. "''m pretty relaxed about 11," he said. "Not every single minute of every day has to be totally organized.

' Roughly 15,000 people were in the cast and- crew, all under the direction of Zhang Yimou, whose early films often ran afoul of government censors for their blunt portrayals of China's problems .. He produced some maJestic and ethereal imagery. At the start, 2,008 drummers beat out a pulsating rhythm wtth their hands. Later, a huge, translucent globe emerged from the stadium floor, and acrobats floated magically around it to the accompaniment of the games' theme son~, "One World, One Dream. ' It ended sensationally, when China's first Olymptc superstar, former triple gymnasucs gold medalist Li Ning, was hoisted by wires to the top of the stadium, circled the cin;umference as though he were spacewalkmg and then touched the torch to a thin pipe, setting off a spiral of flame to ignite the mammoth, scrollshaped cauldron overlookmg Beijing. Lt, now 44, whose six medals total 'at Los An~eles in 1984 signaled Chma's intention to be a sports powerhouse, admitted to being nervous about "the best memory of my ltfe." Li had trained for his part for a month. "The bi~gest proble~ is the wind,' he satd. ' Every time I must balance myself in the air and hold the torch as close to the cauldron gas outlet. But every time the wind blew m different direction s." 'r:here were no such problems Friday, and when it was over, Li basked in his success. "That moment," he proclaimed, "means China is standing side by side with the rest of the world." The show's script steered clear of modern politics there were no references to Chairman Mao and the class struggle, nor to the more recent conflicts and controversies. A re~ord 204 delegations paraded their · athletes through the stadium superstars such as tennis great Roger Federer and basketball's Kobe Bryant, as well as plucky underdogs from Iraq, Afghanistan and other embattled lands. The nations marched not in the traditional alphabetical order but in a sequence based on the number of strokes it takes to wnle their names in Chinese. The exceptions were Greece, birthplace of the Olympics, which was given its traditional place at the start, and the Chinese team, which lined up last. The U.S. team - second'. Those family members mclude his daughter Barbara, brother Marvin, sister Doro, and his dad, former President Bush, who introduced him to China as a former envoy to the country in the 1970s. Father and &on stood with each other at the new U.S. Embassy in Beijing on Friday, a striking tableau of two presidents who spoke of U.S.-China relations - and their own. "I am so very proud of him," the former president satd. President Bush srud, "It is quite an honor to be introduced by your dad." Being at the Olympics has one side effect for Bush later bed times. Some big events don't even start by the time Bush would normally be sleeping. He . plans to anend a U.S.-China basketball game, for example, that tips off after I0 p.m. local time. The president's enthusiasm for the games comes up at every event. He greeted the U.S. team at the Olympic fencing center and seemed almost at a loss of words. "I wasn't exactly sure what to say to you, except to start wtth, God, I love our country and I love what we stand for. And I love being with you," Bush said. largest after China's with nearly 600 members - was welcomed loudly, with many in the crowd recognizing Bryant and other basketball stars who brought up the rear. Bush rose from his VIP seat to wave at the athletes, nattily dressed in white trousers, blue blazers, red-white-and-blue-striped ties and white caps. "It was a breathtaking experience walking into the stadium," said Oganna .Nnamani, a volleyball player from Bloomington, Ill. "I am thankful to be part of this moment." "This ts the biggest stage," said LeBron James, who hopes to lead the U.S. basketball team to a gold medal. Among the flag-bearers were basketball stars Dirk Nowitzki of Germany and, Manu Ginobili of Argentina, and South African swimmer Nathalie Du Toit, who lost her lower left leg in an accident and made history by qualifying for both the able-bodied games and the Paralympics. The American flag-bearer was 1,500-meter runner Lopez Lomong, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who spent a decade of his youth in a refugee camp in Kenya. He's a member of the Team Darfur coalition, represen'mg athletes ()pposed to China's support for Sudan. On Friday he avoided any criticism and said the Chinese "have been great putting all these things together." Abroad, human rights activists were less generous. ' "The Chmese goverpment and the International Olympic Committee have wasted a historic opportunity to use the Beijmg Games to make real progress on human rij;lhts in China," said Sophte Richardson of Human Rights Watch. Few Olympics-related disturbances were reported in China. But in Katmandu, Nepal, hundreds of Tibetan exiles demonstrated outside the· Chinese embassy, demanding an end to what they say IS Beijing's brutal rule. In Turkey, an antiChina protester set himself on fire. By all indications, the Chinese have overwhelmingly embraced the games, buying up tickets at a record pace, volunteering by the thousands for Olympic duties, nursing expectations of triumphs by their home team.

Country st~rs duet with Elvis on Christmas CD BY JOHN GEROME AP ENTERTAINMENT WAITER NASHVILLE. Tenn. Thanks to technology, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and LeAnn Rime s wtll be among the coumry stars performing with the king of rock 'n' roll on ''Elvi s Presley Chnstmas Duets." · The new album. due out Oct. 14, will also feature Gretchen Wilson, Wynonna Judd, Sara Evans, Amy Grant and Anne Murray. Sony BMG is releasing the disc in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. They say it's the late icon's first duets album and the first Christmas compilalion of its kind. "This is an excellent example of the innovative ways in which we keep Elvis' catalog fresh for new and existing fans," said John Ingrassia, president of the Sony BMG Commercial Music Group. Whlle Presley only recorded 20 Christmas songs, his holiday albums have sold more than 25 mil• lion copies in the U.S. alone. His 1957 release, "Elvis' Christmas Album," is the top-selling holiday release of all-time with 9 million in · sales, actording to the Recordi ng Industry Association of America. The Jordan aires, the vocal group that backed Presley on most of those early recordings. are rerecording their parts for the new album. · · '" It 's done in very good taste." the group's Gordon Stoker said Tuesday. "We're doing the same background we did originally on the recordings in 1957.'' Work is still _under way in the fabled RCA Studio B where Presley recorded. Tracks include ''Blue . Christmas" with McBride, "Here Comes Santa Claus" with Rimes, "Merry Christmas · Baby" with Wilson, "White. Christmas" with · Grant and ''I'll Be Home for Christmas" with Underwood. "It's amazing what they can do," Stoker said. "Elvis sounds great. The recording s sound as if they were done yesterday." · Priscilla Presley said in a statement that she's pleased with the caliber of artists on FRAZIER MOORE the album. "I am sure Elvis would be proud to have worked with them." Even so, some die-hard fa ns are wary. "I don't r¢ally like fooling aro.und with things like that. All the Elvis recordings are so good. It kind of. bothers me ," said Jean Donovan of Derry, N.H., who prepares a quarterly newsletter for a pair of Presley fan clubs. .But Donovan said she doesn't want to rush to . judgment without hearing . the songs. . Kathie Bryson of St. Louis, a member of the Elvis Memphis Style and TCB Elvis Style fan clubs. Browning, said if done properly, the project could enhance for buying Presley's legacy.

Country st~rs duet with Elvis on Christmas CD BY JOHN GEROME AP ENTERTAINMENT WAITER NASHVILLE. Tenn. Thanks to technology, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and LeAnn Rime s wtll be among the coumry stars performing with the king of rock 'n' roll on ''Elvi s Presley Chnstmas Duets." · The new album. due out Oct. 14, will also feature Gretchen Wilson, Wynonna Judd, Sara Evans, Amy Grant and Anne Murray. Sony BMG is releasing the disc in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. They say it's the late icon's first duets album and the first Christmas compilalion of its kind. "This is an excellent example of the innovative ways in which we keep Elvis' catalog fresh for new and existing fans," said John Ingrassia, president of the Sony BMG Commercial Music Group. Whlle Presley only recorded 20 Christmas songs, his holiday albums have sold more than 25 mil• lion copies in the U.S. alone. His 1957 release, "Elvis' Christmas Album," is the top-selling holiday release of all-time with 9 million in · sales, actording to the Recordi ng Industry Association of America. The Jordan aires, the vocal group that backed Presley on most of those early recordings. are rerecording their parts for the new album. · · '" It 's done in very good taste." the group's Gordon Stoker said Tuesday. "We're doing the same background we did originally on the recordings in 1957.'' Work is still _under way in the fabled RCA Studio B where Presley recorded. Tracks include ''Blue . Christmas" with McBride, "Here Comes Santa Claus" with Rimes, "Merry Christmas · Baby" with Wilson, "White. Christmas" with · Grant and ''I'll Be Home for Christmas" with Underwood. "It's amazing what they can do," Stoker said. "Elvis sounds great. The recording s sound as if they were done yesterday." · Priscilla Presley said in a statement that she's pleased with the caliber of artists on FRAZIER MOORE the album. "I am sure Elvis would be proud to have worked with them." Even so, some die-hard fa ns are wary. "I don't r¢ally like fooling aro.und with things like that. All the Elvis recordings are so good. It kind of. bothers me ," said Jean Donovan of Derry, N.H., who prepares a quarterly newsletter for a pair of Presley fan clubs. .But Donovan said she doesn't want to rush to . judgment without hearing . the songs. . Kathie Bryson of St. Louis, a member of the Elvis Memphis Style and TCB Elvis Style fan clubs. Browning, said if done properly, the project could enhance for buying Presley's legacy. Ashley McCabe's "Some people get all upset if they mess with a , (My granddaughter) classic, but if you take a 2008 Market Hog classic lil\e 'A Little Less IRemennber Joe Browning Conversation,' I vaguely remembered that song until lelec:tion day! they redid it and now I adore it," said Bryson, 53.
