The intimate atmosphere and pricy Italian food were exactly what I expected. The food was delicious, but a little expensive for a college student's budget. One perk that offsets the price is that all meals come with bottomless salad and unlimited breadsticks.
The menu didn't have a large variety, but did include unique options, such as its signature dish. Paisano's wait staff was very

Volunteers will pick up trash and debris to be recycled. Kip Walters, park ranger with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said volunteers would receive a free barbecue lunch and participate in a weird trash contest. Judges will award prizes for the weirdest find.
Walters said past contest winners found a military footlocker, a nitrous oxide tank and a control panel from an airplane. Volunteers can choose an area of the lake they wish to help clean, including boat docks, the lake's dam and hiking trails. Walters said many
KU students usually participated in the event; he said they felt compelled to participate in the clean-up because of how many students used the lake's facilities. "It seems like everyone who comes feels like they're doing something good for the lake and the environment." Walters said.
Volunteers can pre-register by calling (785) 843-7665 or register Saturday morning at the Clinton Lake Overlook Park Shelter #1. Walters said the event would be held rain or shine, unless the weather created dangerous conditions.
