Summer’s not over yet, and there’s good news for swimmers at Russian River beaches. The warning signs for toxic blue-green algae are down, thanks to weeks of testing that failed to detect the toxin. Warning signs came down yesterday at 10 local beaches. Dr. Karen Millman from Public Health says it’s still a good idea to be cautious.
