Berkeley cyclist determined to ride again after serious crash

Four years after a cyclist was fatally injured at San Pablo Avenue and Virginia Street, another Berkeley cyclist has been hurt, renewing safety concerns at the intersection. Deborah Marks was biking home from seeing bodywork clients Nov. 5 when the crash happened, at San Pablo Avenue and Virginia Street at about 1:30 p.m. "I was knocked out. I never saw a car that hit me," she said. "I woke up in the ambulance on a gurney with a wonderful tech named Jack who took very good care of me." Marks, 75, suffered two brain bleeds, with the second discovered six hours after the first. She was given anti-seizure medication and kept in the hospital for two days. She is now home recovering. She told The Scanner the crash was a wakeup call about wearing her helmet, which she hadn't always done. Fortunately, she had worn it that day. "I could have been killed from brain injury," Marks said. "I will be religious from this moment going forward. I think that's really important for cyclists to hear." The Scanner initially heard about last week's crash from a reader who witnessed the aftermath and was concerned. "You hear so much about seniors

Fat Dog, owner of Berkeley’s Subway Guitars and a legend of the city, dies at 80

Stapled to the baby blue front wall of Subway Guitars is a page of sheet music for the 1942 standard “There Will Never Be Another You.” It’s unclear whether it was intended as an elegy for Fat Dog, the founder and owner of the Berkeley shop that has served as a musical mecca for generations. But as news of his death on Oct. 30 at the age of 80 spread on social media, it seems like a perfect fanfare for a man who embodied Berkeley’s countercultural contradictions by turning his creative passion into a welcoming, self-sustaining empire that elevated everyone who crossed the threshold.
