A new Italian restaurant is coming to Lawrence.
Stone Canyon, 3801 W. Sixth St., will probably open Tuesday, said Georgeann Griffith, front-of-thehouse manager.
The restaurant will serve sandwiches, entrees, salads, gourmet pizzas and pastas. It will also operate a full bar.
"I don't believe there's a restaurant in Lawrence that has what we have." Griffith said.
The restaurant will serve lunch and dinner. However, for the first few weeks, the restaurant will serve only dinner and will not open until 4 p.m., Griffith said. Normal hours of operation will be from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.
In the future, Griffith said she thought there would be specials on the patio, such as live music and hog roasts.
Dishes at the restaurant start around $7 and cost up to $20.
Dave Ernst, Olathe senior, said
he loved Italian food and eats frequently at Paisano's Ristorante, 2112 W. 25th St., and Bambino's Italian Cafe, 1801 Massachusetts St. He said he would probably eat at Stone Canyon because he lived near the restaurant.
"Another Italian restaurant would be great for the west side of town." Ernst said.
Paisano's Ristorante's manager Trish vonTersch said she did not think the opening of another Italian restaurant in town would affect her business.
that love our traditional Italian recipes," she said. "All of our recipes are made from scratch, and the owners created each one."
"We have a wonderful client base
Like Paisano's Ristorante, Stone Canyon will have a banquet room and eventually have take-out food available, Griffith said. But Stone Canyon will not cater events.
Stone Canyon is owned by Kevin Heaton. He operates another Stone Canyon restaurant in Parkville, Mo.

Officials warn against apathy after Jayhawker Towers fire
By Laurie Harrison Kansan staff writer
As some residents of Jayhawker Towers discovered Sunday morning, not all fire alarms are false.
Not taking every fire alarm seriously could be a mistake for anyone, but it is especially dangerous for students living in University housing, a local fire official said.
No one was injured in the fire at Tower A of the towers. Officials said they're still investigating the cause of the blaze that generated an estimated $5,000 in damages.
Rich Barr, Lawrence fire marshal, said students have a risk of being trapped in the residence halls and should pay attention to every fire alarm.
"You need to react when the alarm goes off," Barr said. "Once you hear the fire alarm, you have to be conditioned to leave immediately."
Evacuating is the best scenario because the risk of death and injury is high for people living in any high-rise structure. Barr said.
Often the alternative to evacuation is dangerous.
"You need to react when the alarm goes off. Once you hear the fire alarm, you have to be conditioned to
leave immediately."

"If you live in an apartment building that's a couple of stories high, you may have the option of leaving a second-floor window," Barr said. "But if you're in the seventh floor of McColum, the window is not an option."
Barr said students should check their room doors for heat before exiting and check the hallway for smoke. If the smoke and heat prevent students from leaving their rooms, they should open their windows and yell for help.
Barr said that in recent
Fire Safety Tips:
■ Take every fire alarm seriously.
■ Check the door for heat before exiting.
■ Make sure paths are clear of smoke.
■ Shut the door after leaving the room.
years the University has taken steps to reduce the number of false alarms caused by technical malfunctions. However, some false alarms are pulled on purpose.
"If people are intentionally setting off alarms as a joke, it's a bad joke." Barr said.
He said prank fire alarms are tragedies because they affect people's future reactions to alarms.
Ara Johannes, a resident assistant at the towers, said she was worried because not every resident took the alarm seriously. Many thought it was a false alarm and didn't act until they were notified by staff.
