New Digs For Surfing Florida Museum

If you surf or are just a casual fan, you’ve likely visited the Surfing Florida Museum which was originally housed in Delray Beach and more recently, Lake Park. However, this special place now has new, larger digs at The Warehouse District in West Palm Beach. From an amazing collection of vintage boards to historical photos to surf memorabilia, the museum takes you back to the 60’s when surfing really took off in South Florida, through today. In short, their mission is “to document Florida’s surfing history” and they do a damn fine job of it. On October 20th, the museum celebrated their grand opening and according to Executive Director Tom Warnke it was quite the party. “We went through multiple kegs of beer from Steamhorse Brewery, located right next to us. When we ran out they brought us some more. We had people attend from as far away as Miami, Cocoa Beach, and the west coast of Florida. Many brought us some surfing and even skating memorabilia—our new space is filling up fast!”

The new space at the Warehouse District has everyone involved stoked, according to Warnke. “We’re now considered a destination attraction and we’re part of ‘Discover The Palm Beaches.’ The 15 volunteers on our Board of Trustees feel the response has been great. We have awesome neighbors here at the Warehouse District so the synergy is terrific. We hope to be here for a long time.’ You can support the museum in a couple of ways; by donating your time as a volunteer, or by donating money to help fund the operation. Students can earn community service hours by volunteering and adults can help out a few hours a week. Hours are Thursday through Sunday from 2-7pm. 1400 Elizabeth Ave., WPB surfingfloridamuseum.org @surfingfloridamuseum

Lend A Helping Hand This Holiday Season While we tend to think about helping those in need during the holiday season, providing for families and people in need happens 365 days a year. Thankfully the Palm Beach County Food Bank is the catalyst that leads the way. They provide access to nutritious food to over 100,000 residents every month, and also serves as a lead agency in the United Way of Palm Beach County’s Hunger Relief Plan. “We procure approximately 5 million pounds of food annually from grocery stores, restaurants, food distributors, wholesalers, and other sources and provide it to more than 200 community partners including soup kitchens, pantries, and residential housing programs” stated Executive Director Karen Erren. “We are really excited about this year’s 28th Annual Project Thanksgiving, and funds raised provide Publix gift cards to agencies serving the hungry”.

the bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in their community. The event will be held at Old School Square in Delray Beach. The Old School Bakery will be donating the bread and local chefs will cook up their signature soups. Tickets are $25 each and can be purchased on the PBC Food Bank website. All proceeds will go to the Palm Beach County Food Bank. To learn more about Project Thanksgiving visit unitedwaypbc.org. There are many ways to help, either through hosting a food drive, financial gifts ($1 provides up to 4 meals) or by volunteering. Visit pbcfoodbank.org/get-involved

Another great event coming up is “Empty Bowls Delray Beach 2018” on December 2. Attendees will share a simple meal of bread, soup, and water and keep

OCEANA COFFEE ONE OF SOUTH FLORIDA’S ORIGINAL SPECIALTY COFFEE COMPANIES CONTINUES PERFECTING THE BEAN BY DARIEN DAVIES

ll coffee lovers unite because there’s finally a way out of the black hole of the over-roasted, burned, and way-too-sweet cup of coffee. Scott and Amy Angelo, founders of Oceana Coffee, are committed to the perfect cup o’ Joe and are enhancing - and perfecting! - every aspect of coffee making from start to finish. It’s a classic story of when passion, creativity, desire and thirst (literally and figuratively) unite, and the creation is Oceana Coffee. They source, roast, supply and brew the Top 5 percent of coffees from around the world and focus on small-batch roasting of specialty grade coffee. Their coffees are roasted to enhance and highlight the array of flavor possibilities and to reflect the hard work of the farmers they work with. The result is a glorious, almost natural cup of coffee, and actually what coffee is supposed to taste like when you let the product shine. Oceana Coffee, named after Oceana, which is the water (or liquid) of the world when the world was one, as in Pangaea. When you think of coffee as life, like Scott and Amy do, no cup of coffee will ever be safe, or the same, again. The story began in a land far away, Australia (where Scott is originally from), and because of his selfish hobby: coffee. He is a

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

marine engineer by trade and spent several years traveling across the world on yachts. But, his coffee obsession followed him across the seas and he started messing around with roasting his own beans after not being able to find anything decent to drink. When he and his wife moved back to Florida (she is a Jupiter native and they met in Florida), he still couldn’t shake the itch and bought a $35 popcorn maker and rewired it to be able to roast coffee. “The rest, as they say, is history,” Scott said. Now, their coffee is in all 28 Whole Foods stores in Florida and local specialty stores, including Doris Market and Joseph’s Market, and is being used by local chefs in restaurants. “We all deserve to drink and eat quality foods, craft beers, chef cooked meals, etc., so why not truly enjoy a great cup of coffee,” Scott said. “It will only cost you about $1 more than you’re already paying!” Maybe the key to creating a great business is caffeine. Who could sleep when you’re visiting all of your coffee farmers yearly, roasting the product, designing and opening stores, getting into other brick

and mortar locations, creating wholesale accounts, and starting a coffee school/training lab. There are now two Oceana Coffee locations in Tequesta and their plan is to open at least five to ten more retail locations across Florida, with two of those in the next six months. Scott is a certified Arabica Q Grader, which is very similar to a sommelier, and is certified worldwide with the SCA Specialty Coffee Association. With his fanciful palate, he is always chasing the “Unicorn” coffee. “Right now it is the Micro Lot coffees that I bought from Costa Rica. I am a huge fan of Ethiopia Naturals, also,” Scott said. “But in saying that, I could rattle off a dozen coffees that I have loved. So never just one coffee.”

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

So what’s their ultimate goal? “To own our own farm would be awesome, but honestly it’s the same as when I started this whole adventure,” Scott said. “I want to selfishly be able to drink a great cup of coffee every day and to be able to share that with as many people as I can. Also to change people’s perspective of what they are being served as coffee.” The easiest way to do that is perfect the craft, which is what he does on the daily. To prove it, Oceana Coffee was awarded the Golden Bean North America in 2016, which is essentially the best specialty roasted coffee in North America, and Runners Up in 2018.

The espresso, cold brewed coffee, French press, cappuccino, latte and more, are waiting to wake you up and put a little pep in your step. Just ask Scott. He drinks about four cups per day, on a light day.

CHOLO BBQ CHEF CLAYTON CARNES AND HIS NEW BBQ SPOT BY DAVID ROLLAND

layton Carnes has to laugh that his last name is Spanish for meats. “My name is a funny coincidence. My family teases me about it,” the chef and restaurateur chuckles. Born in Michigan, Carnes’ family moved to West Palm when he was a kid, where he quickly fell into the restaurant business at a very young and possibly illegal age. “I worked at a rib place in West Palm washing dishes. I was 12 years old. I think I lied saying I was 13 to get the job. They paid me under the table and I always admired the guys in the kitchen. I thought they were cool until I realized how much work it took.” As Carnes grew older, the restaurant business kept its grip on him. He worked his way up to sous chef when he decided to attend culinary school at the French Culinary Institute. “I spent a year in New York and a year in Italy,” he explained. “Then I moved back to Florida and worked as a chef at Cucina. Then my wife and I decided to move to Ecuador where she’s from for a few years where I cooked down there.” That time in Ecuador was an eye opener for Carnes. He heard a

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Spanish phrase Cholo that stayed in the back of his head for years until he was ready to open his own restaurant in West Palm in April 2016, Cholo Soy Cocina. “It’s a phrase in Ecuador that’s friendly. It means a not pure person that is mixed Native and Spaniard. I thought it would be a clever name for our brand since we’re mixing cuisines. It’s an authentic phrase that goes with our style.” Working forever in the restaurant industry, Carnes knew what he wanted and didn’t want from his first establishment. “I wanted something in the Latin street food vein. I wanted something small and quaint so if stuff went down and for some reason everyone on staff quit I could do it all myself. I didn’t want the headaches of a big restaurant or fine dining.” One of Cholo Soy Cocina’s main draws are its margaritas on tap. “I saw other places doing that and I always wondered why isn’t everybody else? Once I found out how a keg worked and it was no longer a mystery I got a margarita formula down and started kegging margaritas.”

FOOD

Once Cholo Soy Cocina proved a hit, Carnes decided to branch out with Cholo BBQ at Grandview Public Market that opened just a couple months ago. “I always wanted to do barbecue. We have our smokers in the parking lot and we’re smoking all day. We have bold flavors and use prime beef briskets and get all our bread from the local bakery, Aioli. People always ask what style of barbecue it is. I don’t have an answer — I’ve never gone around the country scoring barbecue contests. I just know how to cook my meat. The food is simple by nature, but the effort and ingredients are what make it really special.” There’s been enough demand at both places that Carnes is already toying with further Cholo concepts. Though when asked for specifics he stayed coy about any details save that he hopes to open it in summer of 2019. “I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag just yet. I have a couple of ideas that don’t have any competition in the area. We were the first elevated taco shop, now we’re the first barbecue spot. I want the next place to be a pioneer too.”

Q&A WITH

DEVIN

“MOTOR” SINGLETARY

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Does it help playing this close to your hometown of Deerfield Beach? I wouldn’t say it helps, but it is a good thing. You know, I have a lot of family support right up the road so, I wouldn’t say it helps, but it’s good to have. How did the nickname Motor come about? It came about from my dad. He had it first. It was passed down. As I started playing football and whatnot, they saw how fast I was, so it kind of stuck with me. What is your favorite pregame music? That’s tough. I got a few. I like to listen to Kodak. Probably like Lil Herb or something like that. Those guys. What running backs did you look up to the most growing up? It’s a lot. I definitely looked at Frank Gore growing up. LeSean McCoy. Definitely Reggie Bush. The list can go on. There are just so many, but to name a few. Last year you lead the entire country with 32 rushing touchdowns. What were the keys to this great accomplishment? Hard work that we put in. I had great teammates willing to do whatever, so that played a big part. Mainly it was the preparation. What record are you most proud of during your time at FAU? That’s tough. I guess all of them honestly. What is it like having someone like Lane Kiffin as a head coach? You know, it’s great. Someone to come from where he comes from. Been through what he’s been through. Just to be able to soak up the game from him, whatever it may be. So it’s great having him around. You can use him as a tool to learn new things every day. Besides FAU, what has been your favorite stadium to play in? My favorite stadium to play in, I don’t really have one besides FAU. We’ve witness your great long runs all the way down the field and then go right into a hurry up offense. This pace >>

SPORTS

throughout the course of the game is hard to keep. What do you attribute your insane cardio to?

Honestly, probably when I was like three. To be honest, I’ve been ready to play since then, so yeah, three years old.

Preparation. The way we practice. We’re always flying to the ball. Even if we don’t got the ball, we are running to the ball. So that plays a big part in the way that we prepare.

Do you have any pre game rituals or superstitions?

What are your personal and team goals for the rest of the season? Finish off strong. Definitely having no more losses. Personally, just keep being me. I feel that’s what got me here and see what happens. Tell us about Wilson Love, the team’s strength and conditioning coach. Is he as intense and crazy as he looks on the sideline? Definitely. He’s a good dude, but he’s definitely intense. I really wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m pretty sure the guys feel the same. At what age did you first believe that you could play football at a high level?

@ATLANTICCU R R E NT

Nah not really. I just try to be locked in. I like to say my prayers before the game. Mainly just try to stay locked in. Stay focused. Off the field, what are some of your favorite things to do? I’m a relaxed, cool kind of guy so I might like to hit the movies or something. Go to the beach. Little things like that. Any favorite post game meals? Chipotle, when we get the burritos. That would be good. Steak burrito. Will you be an owl next season? We have to see honestly. Still got a long time, so we’ll see what happens.

Dopesick in Delray Viceland show “Dopesick Nation” Spotlights the Local Opioid Crisis By Darien Davies

midst the sparkle and glamour of life in downtown Delray Beach is a heroin epidemic. Happening about a block over in any direction, the situation is both obvious and not obvious at the same time. A new documentary on Viceland, Dopesick Nation, is shedding some light on the drug scene. Dopesick Nation is a series that takes place mostly in Delray that follows two recovering addicts, Allie and Frankie, as they try to help as many addicts as possible. The term “dopesick” is slang for opiate withdrawal symptoms, which include insomnia, vomiting, diarrhea, night sweats, body aches and more. Most people say that the withdrawal process makes them wish they were dead because of the intensity, so instead of fully going through it, they resort to Suboxone, a medication for opiod addiction, or the cheaper and easier to get option, heroin. It’s a vicious cycle, which is why professional help is needed. The first episode aired on September 12, 2018 and there have been a few more since. Each show features one person each who Frankie and Allie are trying to save from the drug life, but there’s never really any resolution, which is the main problem. The overall goal is to help people who want to go into recovery by securing a scholarship to cover the cost of treatment, and the scholarships are provided by the treatment centers. While Frankie and Allie want to help everyone, they also want to make sure the person they’re helping is serious about getting clean so they don’t waste the scholarship. For Allie, hope is what keeps her going. “Relapse rates are high, which is something a person working in this field learns quickly,” Allie said. “But seeing clients get better and adjust back into society and their families again, that is 100 percent what keeps me going every day.” Allie believes that even though there is greater education now about the issue, and that substance abuse is decreasing, more people are dying than ever before. She feels this is due to the chemicals mixed in with the heroin, like fentanyl and carfentanyl, which not only make it more difficult for users to quit, it also increases their chances of dying each time they use. Kelly, one of Allie’s best friends, is excited about getting sober one day, but then when she’s sick from not using, she calls Allie to ask for money to buy drugs so she can physically pick herself off the bathroom floor. Crying, Allie sends her the money.

Then there’s Tiffany, who lives with a stranger for free because she “submits herself” to him periodically, just so she can spend more of her prostitution money on heroin, which is around $200-$300 per day. She calmly states, as if it’s a fact, that the amount of drugs she does would kill most people, but for some reason it doesn’t kill her. It’s shockingly obvious that while most addicts on the show talk about getting clean, they are married to the drug. They’re either homeless, living in tents in several parks or parking lots around Delray and Boynton, or they are squatting in a house that used to be a half-way house. The show does a sickeningly fantastic job of showing the juxtaposition of life in Delray. Not only is it the Most Fun Small Town in America, but it’s also the “recovery capital of America.” You always hear about the heroin epidemic and how many overdoses happen on a daily basis, but you never really realize that it’s actually full-blown happening, and that it’s so close to your night out or your Sunday brunch with friends. But even though the show highlights how low these addicts are, and how much Frankie and Allie try and give them a rare opportunity, there was only one person so far this season who actually stayed in recovery and is working toward a better life. So, maybe that’s it for Frankie and Allie. Even though it’s mentally demanding for them to keep trying to help people who often times don’t really want to be helped, they do it because even if they are able to help one person from dying, that’s one more than otherwise. Thankfully at least they’re trying. “The success rate for me is 100 percent. Helping others always helps me and that’s the point, Allie said. “I personally am not waiting on government or handouts. It’s time to stand up as citizens and make a change ourselves. I changed my life and it’s my job to go back, reach out, and get somebody else out. That is how I believe I can make a difference.” Dopesick Nation airs on Viceland Wednesdays at 10 p.m.
