Spikes in Seattle pond not malicious

It turns out the spikes below the surface of the water at Green Lake Boating Center in Seattle weren't put there by sadists, as originally thought.

Patti says: "We were all so appalled that someone would do such a malicious thing, and thank goodness it wasn't that at all. They now say the stakes were put there by the parks department –- they'd been curved over at the top, that part had rusted off."
