Sodus Bay, the scenic sailing, fishing and vacation destination in Wayne County, has suffered outbreaks of potentially dangerous cyanobacteria for the last several weeks, causing the closure Wednesday of two swimming beaches and prompting a huddle by local officials this morning to figure out how to better warn the public. "I would advise everybody to stay out of the water until we get a better understanding of this," Sodus Point village mayor Michael Sullivan said Thursday. Cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, can release toxins harmful to people and animals. The bacteria have proliferated wildly this month in Sodus Bay, located about 40 miles east of Rochester on the shore of Lake Ontario.
