Revamping marriage, again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — The renewed focus on marriage is persuading Kansas lawmakers to try again at passing a measure that would make certain holy unions tougher to sunder.
Republican Sen. Tim Huelskamp of Fowler, who this year led the unsuccessful effort for a Kansas Constitutional amendment banning
Such marriages would be optional, but require the couple to undergo premarital counseling, file an affidavit saying they intend to stay together for life and take reasonable steps to preserve the marriage, such as marriage counseling.
same-sex marriage, said he would like to introduce legislation providing for so-called "covenant marriage."
If things do go south, the legislation would limit the grounds for

divorce to adultery,spousal or child abuse,abandonment for at least a year or a felony conviction. It would also require the couple to remain separated for two years before the divorce could be final.
Huelskamp and his House counterpart, Rep. Kathe Decker, (R-Clay Center), said covenant marriages would set a higher standard for couples that want to meet it.

Former actor laces up skates with NHL greats for charity
BUFFALO, N.Y. — It was difficult to tell who was more excited: Michael J. Fox for playing alongside former hockey star Gilbert Perreault, or the other way around.
"Man, it's very cool. It's thrilling," Fox said Saturday after meeting Perrault, a member of the Buffalo Sabres' famed French Connection of the 1970s. "I mean, I'm skating with the French Connection today. Give me a break. It's just insane. That's nuts. I love it."
The feeling was more than mutual. "I had a big thrill playing with him." Perreault said. "He's got a lot of guts. And good luck to him. He's a wonderful man."
The meeting was part of former Sabres captain Pat LaFontaine's Champions in Courage charity game to raise money for Buffalo Women and Children's Hospital. The event raised more than $200,000 toward LaFontaine's goal of building a computer playroom for children at the hospital

Comedystar wants to end Italian-American stereotype
The former Saturday Night Live star attended a panel discussion at Seton Hall University on Saturday that examined why, according to one attendee, prejudice against Italians is tacitly accepted in popular culture.
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. — Comedian Joe Piscopo wants to change the popular stereotypes of Italian-Americans promoted on television and in movies.
Piscopo, who said he is embarrassed by some of the stereotypical Italian characters he has played, is at work on a movie that portrays an Italian-American family from northern New Jersey. He is determined to get the film made, though he said he has

Virginia woman may take large donation off the table
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Philanthropist Doris Buffett is threatening to rescind her $2 million pledge to build a new Boys & Girls Club center.
The sister of billionaire investor Warren Buffett wrote a recent letter to Mayor Thomas J. Tomzak and other officials, setting a Feb. 1 deadline for the city to take action.
Buffett, 76, has set a timetable that includes selecting a site, developing a building committee, and completing a preliminary building plan that includes an estimated project cost by Feb.1.
Buffett said she is "very discouraged and disheartened by the negative response" of the city's parks and recreation department and the "lukewarm support" of the City Council.
"While the response from the community has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic, essentially we are no closer to making this happen," she wrote.

Left could be right choice for Bush in Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — President Bush should consult with Democrats on Supreme Court nominees to ensure a smooth path to Senate confirmation, incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said yesterday.
There is historical precedent for Bush to do so, Reid said.
He cited the autobiography of Sen. Orrin Hatch, in which the Utah Republican said former President Clinton came to him as Judiciary Committee chairman with suggestions of nominees that could win approval from the other side of the aisle.
"That's the same model that President Bush should follow, if in fact we have Supreme Court nominees come before us," Reid said on NBC's Meet the Press.
