THAT'S HOW ONE FAMILY DESCRIBED HOW THEY FELT WHEN THEY WENT TO VISIT A LOVED ON AT A J-L BOWLING CEMETERY IN WINFIELD ... AND SAW THE CONDITION. CHRISTY RAY SAYS SHE'S OUTRAGED WITH THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE J-L BOWLING CEMETERY IN WINFIELD. AN ABSENT OWNER ... AND TALL GRASS ARE A FEW OF HER CONCERNS. RAY'S GRANDMOTHER IS AMONG 100 PEOPLE BURIED IN THE 25 ACRE CEMETERY... ALONG WITH ABOUT 40-THOUSAND PETS. EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS IS WHAT WILLIAM MCCALLISTER PAID. MCCALLISTER SAYS THE CEMETERY WAS IMMACULATE WHEN HE PURCHASED THE PLOTS IN 1996. WANDA WAS ALSO RAY'S GRANDMOTHER ... THE WOMAN WHO RAISED HER. THE PAIR SAYS THE CEMETERY WENT DOWNHILL WHEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER DIED SEVERAL YEARS AGO ... AND HOWARD HUNTER INHERITED THE LAND, ALONG WITH ALL THE RESPONIBILITIES. THESE DAYS, THE GRAVES, TOMBSTONES, AND FLOWERS ARE COVERED BY TALL GRASS. REALTOR DUKE JORDAN AGREES THE CEMETERY ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE. HE'S BEEN TRYING TO SELL THE PROPERTY FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF. JORDAN SAYS HE GETS SEVERAL CALLS A WEEK ... NONE FROM POTENTIAL BUYERS. AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE. 59:24 RAY "My granfather is in good health but if something were to happen and we can't contact him, is he really going to honor the opening and closing of the graves? Or is it going to have to be paid for twice?" AFTER NUMEROUS UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS, I FINALLY GOT IN TOUCH WITH HUNTER. HE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT HE WANTS TO HELP ... BUT THE STATE WILL FINE HIM IF HE DOES ANY WORK. THAT'S BECAUSE HE OWES THE STATE 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TAXES AND 90 THOUSAND TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ... A DEBT HE INHERITED. RAY AND HER 72-YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER SAY IF HUNTER WON'T STEP-UP, THEY'LL TRY TO GET THE BALL ROLLING THEMSELVES.

Return to Story IndexBBQ BRUSH
SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT THINK ABOUT MAY HURT YOU... IT'S NOT FROM THE CHARCOAL OR GAS TANKS... BUT THE BRUSHES YOU USE TO CLEAN YOUR GRILL. 07:17:44 preview. All right, now to that big 07:18:55 danger that could affect everyone getting ready for 07:18:58 barbecue season. It's not charcoal or tanks but 07:19:02 the brushes you use and neal karlinsky has the story. 07:19:05 How are you feeling. Reporter:16-year-old tristan 07:19:08 says the mysterious stomach ache that put him in the hospital bed 07:19:12 was so bad, it felt like he was being stabbed from the inside 07:19:16 out. Pretty violent and it hurt 07:19:18 really bad. Reporter: After days being 07:19:19 sick to his stomach he was admitted to seattle children's 07:19:22 hospital where doctors were perplexed and worried so they 07:19:26 performed exploratory surgery on his small intestine. 07:19:29 Suddenly I saw a glimpse of light off a piece of metal. 07:19:33 My colleague who was operating with me said that looks like a 07:19:36 brush bristle. Reporter: He unknowingly ate 07:19:40 one of these, a wire the size of a hair from a common grill brush 07:19:44 that apparently came off and stuck to the chicken he was 07:19:47 eating at a family barbecue. Strange as it soups it's not 07:19:50 unheard of. Feels like a stabbing pain in 07:19:53 my throat. Reporter: The centers for 07:19:55 disease control put out a warning about old barbecue 07:19:59 brushes and tiny metal bristles rubbing off. 07:20:02 Tristan's parents had never heard of the problem and are now 07:20:04 throwing out their brush and urging others to check theirs. 07:20:07 I don't want anybody else to have to go through this. 07:20:10 It's been horrible. Reporter: In the meantime, 07:20:13 tristan has gone from scared to overwhelmed about his strange 07:20:16 close call. I have really bad luck just 07:20:19 because of this one in a million chance happening to me but have 07:20:22 really good luck because they found it early and have good 07:20:26 doctors that put me into the o.R. And got it out. 07:20:31 Reporter: He's starving for something good. 07:20:33 Don't offer him anything off the barbecue for awhile. 07:20:35 For "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle.

REPUBLICANS ALLEGE A COVER-UP AND A LARGER OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SCHEME. Today, at the first Congressional hearing on the IRS scandal, the agency's acting commissioner Steven Miller got grilled. Rep. Charles Boustany-SOT- WHY WAS ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM SINGLED OUT? Rep. Brady-SOT- IS THIS STILL AMERICA?// WHO TARGETED CONSERVATIVES? It wasn't just the Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee.the commissioner also took heat from Democrats. Charlie Rangel fired up-SOT- THIS IS WRONG. THIS SCREAMS OF ABUSE! Miller fell on his sword. Steven Miller-SOT- WHAT HAPPENS AT THE IRS STOPS AT MY DESK. And he shed light on what he think occurred when IRS agents targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups seeking tax exempt status. CONSERVATIVE GROUPS) Republicans aren't buying it. They see a larger Obama administration scheme. Chairman Camp-SOT- THIS APPEARS TO BE JUST THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF THE CULTURE OF COVERUPS AND POLITICAL INTIMIDATION IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. Miller has resigned and a second IRS official - the man in the charge of the agency Exempt and Government Entities Division announced his plans to retire.

Tahman Bradley Standup Close: "THE DEMOCRATS ON THE COMMITTEE REPEATEDLY POINTED OUT THAT THE IRS COMMISSIONER IN CHARGE WHEN THE INAPPROPRIATE ACTIONS TOOK PLACE WAS APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. Tahman Bradley, ABC News, Washington."
