No Golden Algae in Our Lake

Yesterday's East Valley Tribune had this article with the really scary title:

Fish-killing algae invades Arizona
By Joe Kullman,

A rapacious, fish-killing algae linked to the recent loss of more than 1,000 fish in a Gilbert lake also has been found in Saguaro Lake. The fast-spreading species of golden algae could do extensive ecological damage, officials said.

I went straight to the Water Expert, of course, because if you read the article, the Gilbert Lake that it references is the Riparian Preserve over by the library, and so I worried about the proximity to our lake behind Farm Bureau. The Water Expert did some research and told me that we do not have that kind of algae (although we do have a little of a different kind), our fish are fine, and he will keep a close watch on it, but not to worry. Good news.
