Los OsosPollinator Population — Unsung Heroes
You may have spotted a cheerful crew gathered outside Saint Benedict's Church along Los Osos Valley Road recently — that's John Swift, Rick Robinett, Marisa Gomez, Cheryl Vonderahe, Don Maruska and David Preston, local Rotarians on a mission for our smallest neighbors. Their focus: the pollinators that keep our gardens, farms, and wildlands humming, from the bees working the dune scrub to the butterflies drifting through Montaña de Oro. It's easy to take those little workers for granted, but without them our backyard tomatoes, Morro Bay avocados, and spring wildflower blooms would look pretty sorry. The club's effort is a gentle nudge to plant natives, skip the pesticides, and give pollinators a fighting chance. Estero Bay News has the full story and photos. Worth a read — and maybe a few new blooms in your own yard this season.

Los OsosSupervisors Won’t Fund Cabrillo Estates Sewer Project
If you’ve ever driven up the winding roads of Cabrillo Estates, you know it’s one of those tucked-away Los Osos neighborhoods that feels a world apart—quiet, hillside, with views that make you forget you’re just minutes from the bay. But for years, residents there have been waiting on a big, unglamorous necessity: a sewer connection. According to *Estero Bay News*, the county supervisors just decided not to fund that project, leaving Cabrillo Estates still reliant on septic systems in a community that’s worked so hard to get everyone on the same sewer line. This isn’t just a bureaucratic hiccup—it’s a reminder that even in a small town like ours, infrastructure decisions hit close to home. For those on septic, especially on hillside lots, maintenance can be costly and tricky, and there’s always that lingering worry about groundwater. Many of us remember the long, contentious fight to get the Los Osos sewer built in the first place, and it’s disheartening to see a pocket of the community still left out of that progress. Here’s hoping the neighborhood can rally and find another path forward—maybe through grants or a different funding model. For now, it’s a good reminder to check in with your neighbors up the hill. They’ve been patient, and they deserve a solution that keeps Los Osos whole.
