/ocal chef, sister open Paradoxx
Gourmet and
comfort food,
marina views
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The former Tide Point
restaurant is open once again.
/ocal chef Jeremy Emmons
and his sister Bethany Emmons
recently opened The Paradoxx
Bistro, a gourmet American and
European comfort food restau-
rant, on the south side of Astoria
along Oregon Highway 03.
The name plays on the two
docks behind the restaurant, part
of a private marina next door
serving a small number of gill-
netters and other boats.
At the entrance to the Par-
adoxx, the Emmonses keep a
large chalkboard, showing a
menu that changes every week
with new American and Europe-
an dishes. Jeremy cooks many
of the meals, while Bethany
Emmons makes the soups and
desserts.
The siblings said they use
mostly organic foods free of
chemicals, triglycerides and
high fructose corn syrup,
while cooking everything from
scratch. Their breads come from
the Blue Scorcher Bakery; their
burgers are hand-formed; and
their dessert and chicken pot
pies use organic Àour.
Their menu is populated
with staples like salads, soups,
sandwiches, burgers, surf and
turf and tenderloins, along with
rotating comfort food specials,
soups and desserts.
The restaurant, at 0 S.E.
Front St., opens from 11:30 a.m.
to p.m. Wednesday through
Saturday, along with a Sunday
brunch from 10 a.m. to p.m.
featuring American comfort
breakfast foods.
The menu is inÀuenced by
Jeremy’s experience working in
New York City; Santa Fe, N.M.;
Scottsdale, Ariz.; Napa Valley,
Calif.; and Austin, Texas. He
graduated from the Scottsdale
Culinary Institute, the alma
mater of Baked Alaska’s Chris-
topher Holen. Bethany said she

learned how to cook at home.
Jeremy was the general man-
ager of the short-lived Youngs
Bay Restaurant, opened by Ni-
cole Keller and her ¿ancp and
Nature’s Choice dispensary
owner Nick Clark in early No-
vember and closed by Jan. 5
amid lost wage claims. Keller
and Clark leased the restaurant
space from Robert Stang, the
Emmonses’ father, through Ris-
ing Tide Enterprises, //C.
Jeremy said there is no con-
nection to the former restau-
rant. It is just he and his sister
focusing on the bistro, while
helping maintain the property.
They will soon launch a Kick-
starter campaign for $10,000 to
help replace the deteriorating
wooden deck in the back of the
restaurant, which offers views of
Youngs Bay, Youngs River and
Saddle Mountain, with cement
so customers can use it again.
“There are a lot of peo-
ple who have a connection to
this place,” Jeremy said about
the restaurant’s history, which
stretches back through at least
the 000s to Cheryl Holmes,
who opened Tide Point at the
same location.
The Emmonses said their
restaurant caters to locals, who
they say represent about 0 per-
cent of the restaurant’s custom-
ers. They give discounts to cur-
rent and former military, police,
¿re¿ghters, EMTs and other
emergency personnel.

Trump, Clinton lead
in Oregon survey
favorite nationally to take the
Democratic nomination, had a
relatively narrow percent to
39 percent advantage.
Sanders, an independent
who appeals to progressives, is
scheduled to campaign in Seat-
tle and Portland this weekend.
A rally initially set for the Vet-
erans Memorial Coliseum in
Portland Sunday evening has
been moved to the larger Moda
Center.
When all voters surveyed
by DHM Research were asked
who they thought most like-
ly to win the Democratic and
Republican nominations, 79
percent said Clinton and 3
percent said Bush.
The survey was taken from
July -7 among 53 Orego-
nians. The margin of error was
. percentage points.
For the smaller sample of
registered Democrats, the mar-
gin of error was .9 percent-
age points. For the Republican
sample, the margin of error was
7.7 percentage points.

Donald Trump, the real es-
tate magnate and television per-
sonality, holds the edge in Ore-
gon over Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker and former Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush for the Republi-
can nomination for president, a
new survey shows.
The online survey by DHM
Research, a Portland-based in-
dependent research ¿rm, mir-
rors national polls on the GOP
campaign.
Trump is the front-runner
with Oregon Republicans at
1 percent. Walker stands at
1 percent, while Bush is at 11
percent and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz
of Texas is at 10 percent.
The survey was conducted
in late July, before the ¿rst Re-
publican debate took place in
Cleveland Thursday night.
Hillary Clinton, the former
secretary of state, leads U.S.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
among Oregon Democrats, the
survey found. But Clinton, the

Cannon Beach is identi¿ed
Schermerhorn said Wilkins
had no identi¿cation on her, but
was later identi¿ed by her ¿n-
gerprints.
At this point, he added, it’s
dif¿cult to tell whether she
washed up onto the shore or was
there when she died.
“It doesn’t seem to be foul
play,” the police chief noted.
But the cause of death is be-
ing investigated by police and
the Clatsop County medical ex-
aminer.
Anyone who saw or heard
anything suspicious in the area
of Taft and the beach on Tues-
day evening or during the early
hours of Wednesday morning is
asked to call /t. Chris Wilbur at
03-3-07.

No service? Cannon Beach to improve cell coverage
/ease with
AT&T sealed
By DANI PALMER

CANNON BEACH —
Grant Wyatt and his family
discovered much of what Can-
non Beach has to offer just by
wandering around downtown.
But when he wanted to Google
more places to see, the Portland
resident was out of luck.
In the corner of his cell-
phone were the dreaded words:
“no service.”
In Cannon Beach, that usu-
ally means AT&T, which has
notoriously poor coverage in
the tourist town. As City Coun-
cilor 0ike Bene¿eld put it, one
can tell an AT&T customer by
who has a phone “up in the air.”
“It’s not life-altering,” Wy-
att said with a chuckle, “but it
is frustrating.”
That could all change soon.
Cannon Beach’s City Coun-
cil approved a 0-year lease
agreement with AT&T that in-
cludes four ¿ve-year renewable
terms. The deal will allow the
company to add an antenna to
the existing T-Mobile tower
and build a new cellular ser-
vice facility adjacent to the
T-Mobile and Verizon ones on
Spruce Street.
“AT&T’s goal is to greatly
improve coverage in the Can-
non Beach area,” said Ken
/yons, an attorney for the com-
pany.
He saw ¿rsthand how an-
noying the lack of wireless ser-
vice can be while vacationing
in Cannon Beach last month.
Tourists expect cell cover-
age, /yons said, and few resi-
dents have home phones any-
more.
get any service downtown be-
yond a 50-foot range.
‘Well overdue’
Councilor Melissa Cadwal-
lader asked about the wireless
providers sharing a structure
rather than having three separate
ones. She said technology has
physically gotten smaller over
the years and inquired whether
all the space was needed when
there is limited land in Cannon
Beach and the city is working on
affordable housing.
/yons said the space will
host backup power in the case
of a natural disaster and be
“well utilized.”
/yons said AT&T antici-
pates an improvement in cell
coverage by early next year.
“It’s well overdue,” Coun-
cilor Higgins said.
for the service you provide to both our residents and
visitors alike. We salute your amazing dedication.
