...serving up your daily dish.
We like pancakes. You don't have to sell us on eating pancakes. We'll pretty much belly up to table and tear into a stack. We don't need anything to sweeten the deal, except some good quality Vermont maple syrup. But it's more than just silver dollars at Project Graduation's Pancake Breakfast:
A unique opportunity to have breakfast cooked and served by some locally and nationally known "celebrities" to help raise money for Montclair High School Project Graduation. The list of "celebrities" who will be serving and cooking includes TV news personality Mary Alice Williams, principal Mel Katz, Mayor Remsen, Police Chief Sabagh, Fire Chief Kevin Allen, orthodontist Ed Gold, superintendent Frank Alvarez, Dale Berra (Yogi's son), and others!
We're hoping to score an autograph from Ed Gold and maybe ask Fire Chief Allen to squirt some syrup on our stack. The Project Graduation Pancake Breakfast is $8 for adults, $5 for students. The all-you-can-eat extravaganza includes pancakes, bagels, beverages and more. Bring your appetite this Saturday, from 9 am to noon at the George Innes Annex Cafeteria (enter from No. Fullerton Ave. parking lot). If you have questions, or can volunteer (where's Bobbi Brown when you need her!), contact Paul Silverman.

he's a local celebrity. his office wall is a hall of fame of thousands of kids who've had their teeth straightened (mine included) and he's also a helluva sweet guy!

As one of the shockingly few Montclair children who has NOT had orthodontia of ANY KIND, I have long wondered whether Dr. Gold is the richest person in Montclair. In fact, this topic of discussion was frequent around my family's dinner table during the years my brother was one of his patients.
He's a bit like George Parr, the South Texas political boss who lived in a hacienda and would touch the hand of each Mexican migrant as he entered
the voting booth, whilst his henchmen would supply a shot of tequila and a string that matched the ballot location of chosen candidates. Dr. Gold's iron grip (literally) on Montclair's children needs to be broken!
Actually, I have also heard that Dr. Gold is a lovely man.

Dr. Gold .. Celebrity? Who cares (as I am sure the thought even embarasses him). Nice person? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Very nice -- agreed. But we refer to him as Dr. Platinum!

It can be tough eating with a dental professional, especially sweet treats like pancakes. I mean, is he gonna make you floss after?
