He added that channel "We feel strongly that if there is an audience, a station should be given access," said Ken Bagwell, Storer Communications' president communications. "'That's ludicrous." Bagwell said about leasing cable channels to television broadcasters.

"I question the morality of doing that." Bagwell said Storer hasn't added WTGS to one of its systems serving the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort because its 12-channel capacity county-operated hospital and believe this is the best option," he said. He said that the board already has employed an architect and that construction could begin next summer if the new building is approved. A new hospital would take up to two years to build. Ham said that a new facility would provide "several levels of care" and would stress outpatient services. Ham and Babb said officials will do their best to inform the public and answer questions before the referendum.

Ham said hospital officials plan to "have a lot of public awareness programs, public hearings, and try to keep a steady stream of information to the media."

Renwick also disputed Bailie's claims that Plantation wanted WTGS to pay for use of the cable system.

Hospital From 1-B service station in Clinton, said people are unsure about the new facility. The Copelands led the petition drive for the referendum. Mrs. Copeland said she doesn't think the majority of the people think building a new hospital is in the best interest of the county. "People see the two buildings and they wonder why we can't use them," she said.

"Some say it's foolish to build when we've got what we've got. "But the main thing is, the hospital board did not educate the people to the needs, and they didn't let them into the planning early enough to let them know what was going on. "Now they tell us that, in two years' time, the hospital system will go under if it operates as it does," she said. "There are alternatives to building a new hospital." Retired Clinton businessman Tom E. Addison has bought full-page advertisements in county newspapers urging that, instead of building a new hospital, the county renovate one of the existing facilities and convert the other into a nursing home.

Addison said a new hospital is "not economically feasible" when the existing facilities are considered. "What it boils down to is they are planning on spending $14 million for a 90-bed facility, and they already have an adequate facility (Bailey Memorial) here with 96 beds," he said. "It also has adequate real estate for expansion and is four miles from the center of the county, where they want to build the new one. "For about $4 million, they could make this (a renovated hospital) second to none for a small hospital," he said. "Would you drive four miles to save $10 million?" Addison said it might make even better economic sense to renovate Laurens District and convert Bailey Memorial to a nursing home.

"I don't care which city the hospital is in," he said. Ham said the board considered those options, "but we did not feel that was feasible because of the age of the facilities and because it would leave one community without a hospital." He said building a new hospital, instead of renovating one, ultimately will cost the taxpayers less money. "These buildings, in addition to being small, are faced with problems of age," he said. County Councilman Joe Babb, administrative director for the family practice program at Spartanburg General Hospital, is liaison to the hospital board for council. Babb said building a new facility is "almost a do-or-die situation" for the county.

He characterized operation of the current facilities as being "on the edge. We're trying to do something before they go over." Babb said council unanimously supports the building of a consolidated hospital. "The time is now to move and do something. The situation is just going to deteriorate further," he said. "Competition for patients and physicians is much more keen than it was five years ago." Babb said many county residents go to hospitals in Greenwood, Spartanburg and Greenville for treatment instead of to the local facilities.

He said a new facility not only would help to get back a percentage of patients now going to hospitals out of the county, but "would help to keep the ones we have as well." Babb said the board wants to build a smaller, upgraded facility that would provide more modern services for inpatient care and also provide more outpatient services. Babb said hospital officials talked with two private companies about building and operating a facility and also talked with another hospital about a joint venture.

Supported by recent testimony by Bailie before the U.S. House Copyright Subcommittee and his meetings with several legislators, including Sen. Ernest Hollings, at least three legislative bills have been submitted to reform cable laws relating to local broadcasting stations. Broadcasters are lobbying for elimination of the "compulsory license," which allows cable companies to use a local broadcaster's signal for free. Without the license, cable operators would have to negotiate with each station for use of its signal and for copyright royalties for the programs the stations broadcast.

A spokesman for Hollings said all legislative action is on hold until the Federal Communications Commission reviews the matter. RESTAURANT LOUNGE PARKLAND PLAZA, CAYCE PH. 791-3430 MONDAY NOV. 11th. The Embers TICKETS $5.00 TUES.
