A2 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MAY 14, 2019 IN BRIEF Critics warn chlorpyrifos ban would set dangerous precedent Critics of a proposed ban on chlorpyrifos insecticides in Oregon argue the bill would not only harm farmers but also set a dangerous legislative precedent. Supporters of House Bill 2619 argue that it’s nec- essary for lawmakers to take action due to uncertainty about the chemical’s regulation at the federal level. A prohibition on spraying food crops with chlorpy- rifos was proposed by the Obama administration but reversed by the Trump administration in 2017. The federal government’s regulation of the pesticide is the subject of a legal fi ght before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that chlorpyrifos must be banned last year but has more recently reconsidered that decision. — Capital Press Washington state to offer fi rst ‘public option’ insurance SEATTLE — Washington is set to become the fi rst state to enter the private health insurance market with a universally available public option. A set of tiered public plans will cover standard ser- vices and are expected to be up to 10% cheaper than comparable private insurance, thanks in part to savings from a cap on rates paid to providers. But unlike exist- ing government-managed plans, Washington’s public plans are set to be available to all residents regardless of income by 2021. The move thrusts Washington into the national debate over the government’s role in health care, with a hybrid model that puts the state to the left of market-only approaches but stops short of a completely public system. — Associated Press BIRTH Elementary school students take in a ballet Dancers perform ‘Princess and the Pea’ for a packed house of young students at the Liberty Theatre on Friday.

The former Smoke- house Butcher Block on Ninth Street reopened Fri- day as Curry & CoCo, the fourth restaurant by Thai immigrant and entrepreneur Nalinrat “Lily” Sahunalu. Sahunalu, originally from the Surin province in northeastern Thailand, runs Curry & CoCo with her boyfriend, Brian Fernan- dez, who is originally from Cuba. The restaurant’s name references the coconut they use in many dishes and the Cocotaxis popu- lar in Fernandez’s home- town of Havana. The inte- rior marries the couple’s interests and heritage, with bright painted street scenes from Havana on one side and vinyl records and other tchotchkes collected by Sahunalu on the other. The restaurant offers all the Thai staples, from curry and seafood to noodles and stir fries . I n a nod to Fer- nandez’s past, the restaurant will offer Havana nights Edward Stratton The Astorian on Thursdays, serving up Cuban food. “We try to cook classic Cuban food like my mom cooked at my house when I was a kid,” Fernandez said. “We’ll probably have rice, beans, fried banana, cro- quettes, empanadas.” Sahunalu relocated in her 20s to the Portland metro area, where she worked as a housekeeper and later in Thai restaurants. Eight years ago, she and her fam- ily opened Red Curry, her fi rst restaurant, in Beaver- ton, and her second, Green Curry, three years ago.
