    Local legend Stan Atkinson, known for being a longtime news anchor from the late 1950s to 1999, died this weekend at 92 years old. Atkinson joined KCRA in 1957 when it was just starting out and retired from KOVR, now known as CBS13, in 1999. He is survived by his wife, four children, 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Beyond defining local news in the region, he was an Army veteran who dedicated decades of community service raising millions for Sacramento charities and organizations.

However, this year has seen a drop in international visitors, particularly from Canada — one of California’s largest markets.

The large scavengers, which feature a nearly 10-foot wingspan, could be found from Florida and New York to the redwood forests of Northern California, breaking down the remains of elk, deer, bears and other large animals.However, the condor was driven to near-extinction as the continent was settled, disappearing from most of their habitats. By 1982, the total population stood at just 22 birds.

    The 100 days marker for presidential administrations is really nothing more than that: A marker. The benchmark was established during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term because he got a lot done in those first few months as president.
