Charleston Doctor an Unlikely Disciple of Saltnew
Dr. Benjamin Yoo, creator of a high-sodium sports drink called BANa, realizes how peculiar it must sound for a doctor to recommend that people take in more salt — a bit like a dentist chiding his patients for not drinking enough Coca-Cola or a pastor shepherding his flock into the corner liquor store.

Skateboarders Enter Confusing Legal Territorynew
Skateboarders and skateboarding sympathizers dominated the half-hour citizen participation period at Tuesday night’s Charleston City Council meeting with pleas for a change in the city’s ordinances regarding downtown skating. The impetus was a resolution from the College of Charleston student government that asked for an exception to skating prohibitions within the college campus, but non-students also spoke about uneven treatment by police and a confusing city code that allows skating on certain peninsula streets but not on others.
