| Festival to return for 21st year
With what festival organizers describe as renewed energy and new and expanded offerings, the Reister's Towne Festival returns to Main Street Sept. 8 and 9 for the 21st year.
Festival executive director Kathy Gambrill said most of the entertainment is new to the festival this year, along with several new culinary choices and an expanded children's area.
The festival kicks off Saturday morning, Sept. 8, at 9 a.m. with the traditional parade along Main Street starting at Franklin Middle School.
This year's parade grand marshal is well-known Reisterstown resident Calvin Reter, whose family has run groceries and crab houses for three generations.
As in years past, the parade is set to include military units, car and motorcycle clubs, fire companies, elected officials, clowns and marching bands.
New Beaver serves up optimism
I caught up with new OSU player C.J. Giles the other day as the big fella went to summer classes and played summer hoops. Staying out of trouble hasn't been any problem, he says. In his idle time, he cooks, or watches the Food Network. "I've cooked for all my teammates," says Giles, who remembers taking a cooking class as a third-grader. "It's sometimes good, sometimes bad." Coaches, teammates and fans of Oregon State will be happy to hear about cooking being his leisure activity. Giles came to the Beavers with baggage, fresh off being booted from the Kansas team for what coach Bill Self described as "a pattern of irresponsible behavior and disrespect for team rules." Included was his misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly dragging an ex-girlfriend by her feet out the door and striking her, which he denied doing.

Mediterranean spot boosts Embarcadero Center lineup
There's a new kid in town: Sens, a new restaurant specializing in Southern Mediterranean cuisine, has moved into the space of San Francisco's Monte Cristo Cafe (4 Embarcadero Center) and is scheduled to open late next month. Executive chef Michael Dotson, formerly of Evvia Estiatorio in Palo Alto, and his crew, including partner Saeed Amini, moved into the space earlier this month and have been ironing out the menu and design details. Before Monte Cristo, the space was home to Splendido. "We're keeping all the beautiful wood and stonework," says Dotson. The restaurant seats 225 people, he says, and will have a lounge, indoor/outdoor tables and separate spaces for private dining. "The dishes will be directly influenced by North African, Greek and Turkish cooking," Dotson says.
