Box 25, Tryon, N.C. 28782. Executive Committee Of Hospital Too Insular, Some Say St. Luke's Hospital has been rocked recently by key resigna tions. The reasons behind the resignations were unclear. In recent weeks, the public became aware that the medical staff was nearly unanimously pushing for changes in the administration. Although most of the discus sion took place in closed or "executive" sessions of the Board of Trustees, the problems became more open to scrutiny when Urologist Dr. Randall Williams resigned July 1 from active duty on the medical staff and St. Luke's President Tho mas Bradshaw resigned July 15 after 4 1/2 years to take another job. In the wake the public reac tion these resignations caused, some medical staff members and Trustees talked with a reporter recently. In addition to the problems all small, rural hospitals are facing, they say St. Lukes has a self-perpetuating executive committee which continues to appoint itself to key leadership positions.

S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) officials have proposed an agreement whereby Tryon would agree to take responsi bility for pumping and hauling sewage from existing holding tanks on Lake Lanier. Town officials said Mon day not only do they not want responsibility for such a solu tion to the problem, they don't want this solution at all. S.C. law prohibits holding tanks. When Tryon officials and lake residents began complain ing in 1990 about possible unsanitary conditions on the Jake, DHEC acted. DHEC officials ruled that all holding tanks must be elimi nated by Sept. 1, 1994. Grey water discharges are to be eli minated by Sept. 1, 1993. Only biological and incinera ting toilets would be approved for waste disposal, and then only in houses without any pressurized water.
