Jerry Brown ordered state offi- cials to impose mandatory conservation measures that include a 25 percent reduc- tion in urban water use. Because the city of Corn- ing serves fewer than 3,000 water customers and dis- tributed less than 3,000 acre-feet of water in 2014, the city is not considered an urban water supplier, Brewer said. "However, in spite of that exemption, we are a part of the California community and should do our part to conserver water," he said. The city already has im- plemented stage one of its water-conservation pro- gram, which calls for a vol- untary 15 percent reduction in water use. Stage one en- courages water customers to use efficient landscaping systems, water lawns in the evening and early-morn- ing hours, reduce house- hold water use by using a shut-off valves on hoses and conduct other water-saving measures. If stage two were to be im- plemented, the water-sav- ing measures in stage one would still apply, but cus- tomers also could be fined should they use more water than they are allotted. Brewer told the City Council that the section of the city's water conserva- tion ordinance describing the allotment limits is dif- ficult to explain and inter- pret and should be revised by city staff before stage two is considered for im- plementation. "Because we'll need to clearly communicate the details of how the allot- ments are determined and the consequences of over- use to our customers, it's imperative that the ordi- nance be clear cut and un- derstandable," Brewer said. "For that reason, and since our staff will have to do the math for each and every wa- ter customer, we should re- write and simplify that sec- tion." Residents present at Tuesday's meeting told council members that while they believed water conser- vation is a good idea, water allotment limits could pun- ish those who already have been taking measures to save water. "That's why it's critical to come up with an equita- ble way to implement this," Brewer said. The City Council took no action on the agenda item as it was informa- tional only, but city staff could bring the item back for action at the next regu- lar City Council meeting on April 28.

Bender The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Protests by Japanese-American groups have led an East Coast auction house to can- cel a sale of 450 photos and artifacts from World War II internment camps. The move comes af- ter thousands of Japa- nese-Americans, advo- cacy groups and support- ers posted their opposition to the sale on social me- dia and the auction house's Facebook page. "We know what the in- ternment camps were," Rago Arts and Auction Center founding partner David Rago said Thursday. "We know that it was a dis- graceful period in Ameri- can history, but we did not understand the continued emotional impact embod- ied within the material. We just didn't get it." The collection includes artifacts and hundreds pho- tos of people of Japanese de- scent who were imprisoned over fears they were spies. It also contains dozens of arts and crafts. Roughly 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated at 10 reloca- tion camps after the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. The New Jersey auction house has declined to iden- tify the owner of the collec- tion, which internees gave to historian Allen H. Eaton while he was researching his 1952 book, "Beauty Be- hind Barbed Wire: The Arts of the Japanese in Our War Relocation Camps." Eaton's daughter sold the lot to the unnamed consigner. Last fall, the consigner came to the auction house to enlist help in finding the most appropriate home for the collection, Rago said, adding he didn't realize there would be such a back- lash. "We were taken by sur- prise. We didn't want to trouble anybody. It's not good personally, it's not good on any level," he said. Rago said the auction house will now try to find the "appropriate reposi- tory" for the items. "There are many that are inter- ested," he said, but declined to elaborate. Democratic Rep. Mike Honda of San Jose, who was interned in a camp, says the auction house made the right move. "These artifacts reflect personal family memo- ries of one of the darkest periods in U.S. history," he told the San Jose Mer- cury News (http://bayare- ane.ws/1ELYJCj ). "These items belong with the fam- ilies, or in museums so fu- ture generations can learn from them." Rago said he can't put a value on the lot, but said it's worth more than $25,000. "In some re- spects," he said, "the ma- terial is priceless." CALIFORNIA Ba ck la sh c an ce ls a uc ti on o f internment camp artifacts PAUL KITAGAKI JR. — SACRAMENTO BEE Japanese American Yoshinori Toso Himel, le , holds an image of his mother from WWII and Barbara Takei, holds her mother's cigarette holder made from string and her mother's military ID that was to be auctioned by a New Jersey auction house in Sacramento. The Associated Press SACRAMENTO The Califor- nia Senate has advanced a bill that prevents defen- dants in civil cases from claiming the sexual con- sent of a minor as a defense. It comes after the Los Angeles Unified School Dis- trict successfully argued last year that a 14-year- old girl who had sex with a male teacher shared re- sponsibility, despite her age. The bill by Democratic Sen. Ricardo Lara was ap- proved unanimously Thurs- day. Lara, of Bell Gardens, told lawmakers that SB14 closes a loophole because defendants are not allowed to use similar arguments in criminal cases. LAUSD removed the de- fense attorney after a civil jury cleared the district of wrongdoing. The teacher in the case, Elkis Hermida, was sen- tenced in 2011 to three years in prison for lewd acts against a child. The bill now moves to the Assembly. SACRAMENTO Senate OKs bill barring consent defense By Mae Anderson The Associated Press NEW YORK Sony's hacking problems aren't over yet. W histleblower site WikiLeaks on Thursday put hundreds of thou- sands of emails and docu- ments from last year's crip- pling cyberattack against Sony Pictures Entertain- ment into a searchable on- line archive. It's the latest blow for the entertainment and technology company struggling to get past the attack, which the company estimates caused millions in damage. The website founded by Julian Assange said that its database includes more than 170,000 emails from Sony Pictures Entertain- ment and a subsidiary, plus more than 30,000 other documents. Sony Pictures blasted WikiLeaks for creating the archive, saying the web- site was helping the hack- ers disseminate stolen in- formation. "We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks' assertion that this material belongs in the public domain," the company said in a state- ment. But Assange said the doc- uments should be available to the public. Although they had been online, it was in a compressed format that wasn't easily searchable. "This archive shows the inner workings of an influ- ential multinational corpo- ration," Assange said. "It is newsworthy and at the cen- ter of a geo-political con- flict. It belongs in the pub- lic domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there." The WikiLeaks site lets users find emails, docu- ments or an entire cache of files through searches us- ing keywords, people who sent or received emails and types of files. The site made a name for itself in 2010 when it began publishing diplomatic cables leaked by Chelsea Manning, for- merly known as Bradley Manning. Assange is currently bat- tling a detention order in Sweden, where he is wanted by prosecutors in an in- vestigation of alleged sex crimes. He has avoided be- ing extradited to Sweden by taking shelter in the Ecua- dorean Embassy in London since 2012. Sony Pictures' troubles began last December af- ter it suffered an exten- sive hacking attack and re- lease of confidential emails ahead of its release of "The Interview," a comedy that centers around the assas- sination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
