I pulled up the Don Henley song “Heart Of The
Matter” as I prepared myself for possibly my last trip to
Casa del Rey. I had promised to do the story weeks ago,
but something told me that if I didn’t write the article,
something would delay the inevitable and maybe, just
maybe, Ed and Donna Rey would change their minds
and stay open.
But after Bahooka’s and Tokyo Lobby and several
other major restaurants nearby closed in the past year,
and the shocked crowds packed the places in the last
few weeks and then last days and even the last hours, I
knew it would not make a difference.

Casa del Rey to close its restaurant in Temple City after 41 years
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
The song started, and the words could
not ring more true:
“I got the call today that I didn’t wanna
hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin’ on
the phone
She said you’d found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you”
Donna Blanton of Temple City suffered
two strokes in the past few years and when
her niece, Diane Mattei Goodson, read the
letter from Ed and Donna Rey that Casa del
Rey was closing, she shared a heartbreaking
story.
Aunt Donna has only one comfort food
that makes her life easier, and that is when
her husband, Diane’s uncle Jerry, goes to the
restaurant several times a week just to get
her dinner.
She only wants and loves their food. For
Diane, closing Casa del Rey is closing a
major part of her life. The Reys posted this
letter for their thousands of followers:
“To Our Casa Customers and Friends,
We would like to thank the Temple City
and surrounding communities for their continued patronage and friendship for over 41
years. It saddens us to inform you that we will
be closing our Temple City location on February 16, 2014, after serving the Temple City
community since 1972. We appreciate and

value all our loyal customers and hope you
will frequent us at our other location in Sierra Madre (open 7 days) where you will find
the same great Mexican food and Margaritas
and many of our Temple City staff will be relocated.
“Many of you will ask Why? Well, that’s
a hard one to answer other than our mother
and father started Casa in Temple City 41
years ago and since then a lot has changed
… I guess you can say it’s time. We are very
fortunate that we are able to carry on the
legacy in Sierra Madre, and hope you will
all visit us there.
“We love to hear all the stories and
memorable moments many of you had at
Casa in Temple City, please keep sharing on
Facebook. If you any questions please direct them to our email at
casadelreymex@aol.com or call 626-4474848. We would be more than happy to hear
from you.
Temple City will remain open and in full
operation for lunch and dinner Tuesday Sunday until we close, so please continue
to feast with us until the end! We wish you
many more years of Tacos, Margaritas, Love
and Laughter at our Casa!”
For 40 plus years, the only place to get
enchiladas, tacos, or chili rellenos was Casa
del Rey. So many local residents are stunned
and saddened, but resigned to the fact that
the end is near.
When Kim Mustacchio Fagan read this,
she wrote, “This makes me sad. We go to
both the Sierra Madre and San Dimas locations, but nothing compares to the memories made going to Casa TC several times a
week during our Temple City High School
lunch time back in the 80s (they always
made sure we made it back in plenty of
time).
‘Casa is now a family favorite. As a matter of fact my daughter was here for Thanksgiving from Idaho and that was her one request: to eat at Casa del Rey!”
Memories like this are filling Casa del
Rey’s Facebook page and Ed and Donna are
overjoyed by the outpouring of love and
support they are getting. But, like so many
other things in life, it was time to move on.
A local food lover recently shared a
theory that their extra special margaritas
taste even better due to the higher elevation
of Sierra Madre. Temple City’s elevation is
400 feet, but Sierra Madre’s is more than
double that, 827 feet, making the margaritas
taste even better.
A great philosopher wrote something
that applies to, well, the totally upright and
classy way that Casa del Rey is leaving
Temple City:
“In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?”
Council appoints acting City Manager
Following the departure of City Manager Jose Pulido, the
City Council appointed Temple City Administrative Services
Director Tracey Hause as acting City Manager for the City of
Temple City.
Mayor Cynthia Sternquist wished Mr. Pulido well. “The
Council and Mr. Pulido enjoyed a productive working relationship and moved the City forward in a positive fashion,” she said.
Ms. Hause previously worked for the City of San Gabriel as
the Finance director, City of Arcadia as the Administrative Services director and most recently, First 5 LA as the Finance director. As Temple City’s Administrative Services director, Ms. Tracey Hause, acting
Hause’s responsibilities have included managing the services City Manager

For Pete’s Sake —
Year of the Horse to be best year yet for Chamber
On Saturday, Jan. 11 and 18, Chamber member Natalie Lee, an IRS
Enrolled Agent with LA First Tax & Financial Services, led a well attended seminar on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – a.k.a. Obamacare –
and reviewed how the healthcare-related tax provisions will affect both
business and individuals. Attendees of the 3-hour plus presentation in
the Chamber’s conference room heard from Ms. Lee and other professionals on how the ACA provides a number of mechanisms, including
mandates, subsidies, and insurance exchanges, to increase coverage and
affordability. Photo by Peter Choi.

Happy New Year! Again. This time in celebration of the Chinese Year of the Horse which kicks
off on Jan. 31. What does this mean for the Temple
City business community?
Horse years generally bring good fortune and
so 2014 should be very positive for entrepreneurs
as many of the characteristics we associate with
horses, we also consider attributes of business
owners. Of course, both come in many shapes and
sizes from sleek Kentucky Derby winners to sturdy
Budweiser Clydesdales, so, for both horses and
horse traders, a few tips for the coming year.
Speed. Move fast to adapt to new conditions.
Embrace new technologies. Take advantage of
opportunities.
Strength. You have unique strengths. Use them.
Teamwork. A team of horses working together
can pull incredible loads. Manage your own team
effectively and maximize your work load.
Vision. A horse’s wide eyes allow an almost 360
degree field of vision. Look carefully and take in
everything around you, checking out both the
forest and the trees.
Spirit. Just as horses have a special energy, remember that your business and employees must
be encouraged, rather than pulling too hard on
the reins. Working with your horse as a partner
results in less resistance and easier forward movement. The same is true in business.
This Year of the Horse is extra special for the
Chamber as it marks our 90th anniversary. Indeed, from our inception the very traits we reviewed above have helped guide this organization
through the past century.
The Chamber of Commerce became a chartered organization on March 1, 1924, meeting in
a building at the southeast corner of Las Tunas
Drive and Temple City Boulevard.
A local newspaper reported that “Activities of
the Chamber will be confined to creating a civic
spirit and obtaining those things for the community which can only be obtained through united
efforts.”
Originally, business owners were against incor-
porating the town and the Chamber supported
this point of view, although it did encourage such
cosmopolitan advances as initiating foot-service
mail delivery and bus service.
It opposed parking meters and a name change
of Las Tunas Drive to Arrow Highway. Eventually, the Chamber reconsidered its opposition to
incorporation as the organization found itself fulfilling many of the functions normally provided
by local government, not to mention the growing possibility of an increase in county taxes without an increase in services or representation.
Thus, after a 13-year struggle, Temple City was
incorporated which only enhanced the role of the
Chamber of Commerce, and it has remained an
aggressive advocate for the interests of the business community while actively supporting many
civic events including, of course, the annual Camellia Festival Parade, the city’s signature event
(see Pages 1, 8-9)
(To learn more about the rich history of
Temple City, visit the Historical Society of Temple
City at 5954 Kauffman Ave., Temple City.)
Finally, one cannot talk about the history of
the Chamber and the City without highlighting
the work of the late Marianne Milch who served
as Chamber President from 1985-1998. (See remembrance on Page 1).
Speaking with Board members, current and
past who served with Ms. Milch back in the day,
there remains a great fondness for her and much
appreciation for her accomplishments.
As I have noted before, I thank both Ms. Milch
and (my own predecessor) Linda Payne for their
hard work and successful efforts to grow this organization.
It speaks to the strength and purpose of the
Temple City Chamber of Commerce that regardless who holds the leadership responsibility of
Chamber President, our common shared goal is
to leave the office better than we found it.
The kind words about and warm memories of
Ms. Milch serve as fuel for the fire to make the
Year of the Horse our greatest year yet.
CIAM MBA students complete international consulting project
assisting Mexican company researching economic stablity
A team of MBA students
from the California Institute of
Advanced Management assisted
a major company in Mexico in
creating a plan to strengthen
social and economic sustainability in the communities they
serve.
Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA) is
the largest independent bottler
of Coca-Cola products in the
world and operates the fastgrowing chain of OXXO convenience stores.
The challenge these students
were asked to address is the
transformation of FEMSA into
an agent for social change, creating an “ecosystem” that is at
once entrepreneurial and com-
mitted to benefitting the “Three
Pillars” that comprise FEMSA
corporate values: people, communities and environment.
For FEMSA, enhancing economic opportunity goes handin-hand with education, science
and technology, improved
health and environment, an environment where sustainable
energy, recycling and waste disposal, as well as the critical resource, clean water are the rule
in Mexico and throughout
Latin America.
Creating the process that at
once advances FEMSA values
while maintaining financial stability is a major challenge confronting social benefit or, in the
U.S., B Corporations that com-
mit to the highest standards of
social responsibility. This was
the challenge that CIAM students helped FEMSA meet.
Since FEMSA is located in
Ensenada, CIAM students
needed not only the language
skills to communicate with the
FEMSA teams but also the technology to link the CIAM facilities in El Monte with the
FEMSA offices.
The meetings were conducted via the infrastructure
that CIAM had already developed to facilitate virtual classroom visits by professors from
prestigious universities as far
away as Harvard, Yale and MIT.

Famous murder case still part of Temple City lore

East Los Angeles is named after the family business.
They each inherited a huge fortune on their
18th birthday, but like many twins, they could not
live with or without each other.
Young, good looking, and rich, the Nicholson
twins were every lady’s dream and every lady’s
nightmare.
Their alcoholic mother was so disconnected
from them that she couldn’t even tell them apart,
so rather than trying to remember who was Tim
and who was Todd, she simply called them both
“Tim-Todd.”
She was very erratic in how she raised them
and the two of them developed a strong love-hate
relationship based on constant competition, yet
the inability to stay apart.
The night of Dec. 7, 1964, three people came
together in the Baldwin Arms Apartment: Timothy Nicholson, Todd Nicholson, and Enrico
Bernal, a handyman from Phoenix who was there
to do painting around the complex.
The words “I will kill you, I’ll kill you” were
heard by a witness. Two shots were fired, and a
moment later, one person was dead.

Feb. 17 – President’s Day Holiday, Chamber Office Closed.
By Joe Walker
This year is the 50th anniversary of one of the
best known murder cases ever to take place in
Temple City.
The whole story is much too involved to be
covered in a single monthly column, so every
month I will cover part of this fascinating tale,
which has inspired books and documentaries.
The Baldwin Arms apartment complex was
built in 1960. This 45-unit complex was considered very modern and “swanky” when it was first
made available to the public.
Almost immediately after it was built, it was
acquired by two wealthy investors, Tim and Todd
Nicholson. Identical twins, they were only 21 years
old when they moved into an apartment together.
Heirs to a family fortune, they barely knew their
philandering father who was an heir to the Pullman Car fortune and Armour meat packing
wealth.
They were great grandsons of F. Edward Carry,
former president of the Pullman Company, and
were nephews of E. A. Cudahy, the son of the
founder of the business.
Cudahy Packing Company was a U.S. meatpacking company established in about 90 years
earlier as the Armour-Cudahy Packing Company
back east. The industrial city of Cudahy in near
Temple City Animal Hospital expands staff, hours
Temple City Animal Hospital has announced the addition
of two new doctors of veterinary medicine to its staff: Dr.
Sheeba Thomas and Dr. Lisa
Nguyen,
With the addition of the two
new veterinarians, Temple City
Animal Hospital will be able to
expand its evening hours from
Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays to all five weeknights.
Limited evening hours were
instituted at the hospital in
2013 and are beneficial for clients with work schedules to
manage or pets too sick to wait
for the next day.
Dr. Thomas started as a relief doctor at the Temple City
Animal Hospital in 2013. She
quickly became a favorite with
clients and staff and became a
permanent member of the staff
at the beginning of the new
year.
Dr. Thomas graduated from
Kerala Veterinary University in
Dr. Sheeba Thomas
Dr. Lisa Nguyen
India in 2001 and began her
veterinary career there.
After moving to the United
States, she completed the foreign veterinary graduate certification program at the University of Oklahoma in 2006, from

DVM degree from the Univer-
sity of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign in 2012.

Marianne Milch passes away Dec. 31, 2013
rose to the occasion by donating their clubhouse
to the Society. Still being an active member,
Marianne shepherded the process through the intricacies to ensure that the history of the city (by
then which she was inextricably woven) would
have a permanent home. Eventually, she would
serve as President of the Society but also greatly
enjoyed serving as the Ways & Means Chairman
and starting the Americana Dinner fund-raiser.
Beginning with the Camellia Festival,
Marianne was always involved with the youth of
the city and joined the Friends of Foster Children
in the San Gabriel Valley in 2009 as a volunteer
working the donation sorting room and making
items for the youths, eventually signing up the
Temple City Woman’s Club as and Outside Group
Sugar Plum supporter.
Always a traveler, whenever there was time for
outside interests, Marianne would take an opportunity to travel and see as much as she could. Trips
to Egypt, Greece, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia and a myriad of other countries were al-
ways a source of pleasure and great entertainment
to her, as well as her friends and family who would
always wonder where the world would entice her
to go next and what the next challenge she would
undertake would be.
Active throughout all of the wonderful 86 years
with us, Marianne has served as an inspiration
for countless many, a leader and tireless champion for civic causes and as a humble humanitarian for the less fortunate. It is they who have come
to know her that will fill the gap in life created by
her passing.
She is preceded in passing by her husband
Elmer, and is survived by her son Caesar and
daughter-in-law Carol. A memorial service took
place on January 25, 2014 at the Woman’s Club
of Temple City, 904 Woodruff Ave., Temple City.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor may be
made to the Fiends of Foster Children, P.O. Box

Not just another day
So last summer, something happened
that was more typical than you might
think; could have been just like any other
day. And it was more about a life than a
tooth.
The dentist wasn’t a key player. The
patient didn’t receive any anesthetic or
hear any dental power tools. The appointment didn’t last more than a few
minutes.
But a life – and a family might have
been saved.
The experience touched us all. And
the patient was related to two of my coworkers – and their family is our family; our context for all patients.
We diagnosed advanced periodontal
disease after examining the 38 year-old
husband and dad on a first visit and he
had committed to a series of treatments

that’s a leading cause of tooth loss. Research has also established connections
between periodontal disease and systemic concerns such as heart disease,
diabetes, hypertension, and, in the case
of young women, low-weight premature
births.
Dental Hygienist Extraordinaire Lisa
(everyone in Lisa’s family is a dentist or
dental student, only if we stop at her dad,
uncle, twin brother and husband)
wound up attempting active care twice.
But both times, elevated blood pressure
readings cut the appointments short.
We insisted on an overdue medical
checkup. The visit confirmed a hypertension diagnosis; the other test results
turned up a week or so later.
When the final tabulations were in,
our family guy was also diagnosed with
Type II diabetes; turned out the hypertension was related to an aortic valve
defect.
The valve was repaired in early December. Shortly before Christmas, I saw
our patient at a family birthday party;
he looked like a million bucks (He’d also
had the periodontal care completed before his surgery.)
Just another day? I don’t think so.

Housing prediction for 2014:
Home sales will surge this year
B Y R UDY L IRA K USUMA , R EALTOR ™
Making predictions in what is still a somewhat volatile housing
market can be tricky. That being said, I am going to give you what
I believe will be the three biggest headlines for housing in 2014.
Home sales will surge
Many housing pundits are calling for home sales to do slightly
better in 2014 than they did in 2013. To the contrary, I strongly
believe that home sales will skyrocket with increases of 10-15% in
2014.
Supply will struggle to keep up with demand
With a dramatic increase in demand, it will be up to real estate
professionals and builders to make sure there is the necessary inventory to satisfy this demand. This will be a challenge for much
of the year.
Interest rates will increase significantly
Most experts are calling for an increase in mortgage interest
rates in 2014. However, I believe the increase will be more dramatic than is being projected. I believe rates will be closer to 6%
than 5% by year’s end.

Retirement income workshop, Feb. 22
Emmy, I’m retiring this year. How
should I prepare myself financially for
this exciting milestone?
If you haven’t already, take the time
to envision what you’d like your retirement to look like. Many of your current
habits and attitudes will inevitably
change. For example, you may throw
your alarm clock out the window.
The main financial difference could
be that instead of accumulating assets,
you’ll find yourself withdrawing them.
You’ll need to examine your income
sources during retirement and compare
that to how much money you’ll need to
meet your lifestyle expectations.
For most people, personal savings and
investments will make up the bulk of
their retirement resources.
IRAs, employer plans and annuities,
to name a few, each have different distribution rules and tax consequences. It’s
important that you understand them
well before deciding on a distribution
plan.
You might also consider reviewing
your investment strategy. Before, your
strategies were likely based on a longterm outlook. Now, risk is probably less
tolerable. Many reallocate their assets for
greater stability as opposed to growth
potential.
Often, retirees find themselves in a
lower tax bracket after they’ve stopped
working. Such tax advantages can impact
your choices when planning your retirement income distribution.
It’s also important to determine when
to start drawing on your Social Security.
This is a bare-bones overview of what
soon-to-be retirees will need to consider.
If you’re interested in digging deeper
into this topic, please
join me for a retirement
income workshop I’m
hosting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22 at the
Joslyn
Center
in
Alhambra. Please phone

was Emperor teacher, Mrs. Shelly Scanlan, as shown in the above
photo.
Wesley, 11, is in Mr. Giangregorio’s class. He has two younger
brothers and enjoys math and playing video games. Wesley said
the best things about Emperor are “my teachers, my friends, and
settling into this school my first year.” The best thing that ever
happened to Wesley was being selected to be a member of a youth
choir to sing at Disneyland. His goals are to play the violin like a
world-class musician without having to practice, build a stairway
to heaven, get straight A’s, develop a love for reading, and become
more athletic.
Jacob, 12, is in Mrs. Scanlan’s class. He enjoys playing baseball and watching sports. Jacob said the best things about Emperor are “my teachers, the assemblies, and students.” Jacob said
the best thing that ever happened to him was winning two MVP
trophies for baseball in one season. His goals are to have every
person live their dream, build a huge baseball facility, get straight
A’s, get a scholarship to the University of Georgia, and become a
Major League Baseball player.
Jaemen, 12, is in Ms. Parrille’s class. He has three brothers and
sisters and enjoys soccer, volleyball, and acting. Jaemen said the
best things about Emperor are “the assemblies, the students, my
friends, and the nice teachers.” The best thing that ever happened
was acting in movies. His goals are to change everyone’s language
into one, build a giant water amusement park, become a famous
actor, get into a good college, and get good grades.
Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center
The Kiwanis Club of Temple City honored Riley O’Brien, an
outstanding student from the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center, Jan.

and Principal Chris Sewell, as shown in the above photo.

He has two older brothers and enjoys photography, filmmaking,
and journalism. Riley said the best things about the Learning
Center are “my teachers, the resources, and my class schedule.”
The best thing that ever happened was being selected to be on
the Camellia Festival Royal Court in 2005. If he could change one
thing it would be to pursue his goals sooner in life. His goals are
to attend filmmaking school, to direct a film, and to become more
social. During football season you could see Riley on the sidelines using his photography skills with his father Jeff.
The Kiwanis Club of Temple City honored Maysa Barakat and
Darren Reyes, two outstanding students from Oak Avenue Intermediate School, Jan. 7. Attending with the students was their
teacher, Mrs. Katie Arrighi, as shown in the above photo.
Maysa, 12, has an older sister. She enjoys playing outside and
building things with LEGOS®. Maysa said the best things about
Oak Avenue are “my teachers, Principal Mr. Gray, and Vice Principal Mr. Topalian.” The best thing that ever happened to Maysa
was becoming Student of the Month for the first time. Her goals
are to build a sculpture of her life, and build a big building for the
poor, get good grades in school, get a scholarship, and become a
great student.
Darren, 13 years, has a younger sister. He enjoys sketching,
skateboarding, playing piano and viola, and reading. Darren said
the best things about Oak Avenue “is the music program, block
days on Wednesday and Thursday, and P.E.” Darren said the best
thing that ever happened to him was being born. If he could
change one thing it would be that cigarettes were never invented.
His goals are to build a machine that would completely decompose garbage and turn it into reusable energy, graduate from college with a masters degree, become a graphic designer or animator, and to have good character and personality.

TCHS student Vincent Tsang earns spot
in national robotics competition at MIT
Temple City High
School senior Vincent
Tsang earned a trip to
the Zero Robotics final
competition at the
Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) in
Cambridge in December.
Along with one team
member from Florida,
Vincent placed first out
of eighteen alliances in
the United States and Vincent Tsang
third out of thirty international alliances.
This is Vincent’s third year participating in the
Zero Robotics competition. TCHS Senior Albert
Chen assisted Vincent with projects over the past
three years.
The goal of the competition was to program
a satellite to avoid obstacles and get to a laser as
fast as possible. Once the laser was obtained, students had to rotate it so that it could shoot an
object that moves across 3-D space starting at 90
seconds.
As part of the final competition at MIT, an
astronaut will run student programs on “floating” SPHERES satellites in the International Space
Station.
Temple City High School serves students in
grades nine through twelve in the Temple City
Unified School District. For more information
about TCHS, phone 626-548-5042.

Playfactory Preschool
introduces yoga for kids
Playfactory Preschool has implemented yoga for kids into
the daily routine. The children took to yoga immediately,
quickly learning a variety of yoga positions and breathing techniques. Teaching children about nutrition and healthy eating
and physical fitness as a daily practice is a part of Playfactory’s
daily program.
The school believes that by adding yoga to the daily fitness
activities the children have gained greater control of balance,
more flexibility, and learned how to breathe to relax their mind
and body.
Playfactory is passionate about children learning during
their early years that a variety of fitness activities are fun and
rewarding.
The staff also believes yoga has helped children with following directions, patience, listening skills, working together,
and encouraging others.
Some of the benefits claimed for yoga include:
• Learning breathing techniques help calm themselves easier
during sad or stressful moments or situations.
• Yoga for kids helps children gain an understanding of individual strengths and abilities while strengthening their grow- Brooklynn Shlam

yoga position.
The Playfactory staff say they have had a positive response
from their daily yoga routines.
“The children not only love it, but the above outcomes of yoga have been apparent since starting it,” said Tammy Singdale, staff member. “The families have also
shown an excitement about it, saying that their children show them what they’ve
learned and teach them.”

SoCalGas offers emergency
preparedness tips
Earthquakes, fires and other emergencies strike suddenly. Your best defense is to be prepared for California’s next emergency.
“After a natural disaster or major incident such as the 1994 Northridge
earthquake or the recent wildfires, public safety services will likely be busy
handling emergencies,” said Jimmie Cho, Southern California Gas Co.
(SoCalGas) vice president of gas operations. “We encourage customers to
be prepared at all times.”
Safety tips:
Before an emergency:
• Know where your gas meter is located and keep a 12" or larger adjustable wrench with your emergency supplies, near your building exit or next
to your gas meter shut-off valve. Do not store the wrench on the gas meter
or other gas piping. Even in the case of an earthquake or other emergency,
turn off your gas meter if you smell gas, hear gas leaking or see other signs
of a leak – and only if it is safe to do so.
• To help prevent your water heater from moving or toppling in an earthquake, strap it firmly to the wall studs in two places – the upper and lower
one-third of the tank – with heavy bolts and metal strapping. Be sure to
place the lower strap at least four inches above the thermostat controls. Kits
are often available at your local hardware store and we recommend having a
licensed, qualified professional install it for you.
• Call SoCalGas or a licensed, qualified professional to replace any semirigid aluminum or copper gas tubing appliance connectors with an approved
flexible connector.
• Check safety devices, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors,
to ensure that they are functioning properly.
• Call SoCalGas or a licensed, qualified professional to inspect your furnace and other gas appliances for safe operation and to make any needed
repairs. Make sure flexible connectors are not subject to damage or passing
through floors, walls or ceilings.
After an emergency:
• Do not turn off gas to the meter unless you smell gas, hear the sound of
gas escaping or see other signs of a leak – and only if it is safe to do so. If you
turn off gas to the meter, leave it off. Do not turn it back on yourself. Interior
gas piping and appliances must be inspected for possible damage before
service can be safely restored. Call SoCalGas to turn the gas back on, to relight the pilots and service your appliances. Note that certain repairs may
have to be performed by your plumber or heating contractor. However, only
SoCalGas field employees are allowed to turn on the gas to the meter.
• For safety, a shut-off valve should be installed at every gas appliance,
and may be required by state and/or local codes. If a leak occurs at a specific
appliance, the valve will permit you to turn off the gas at the appliance rather
than shutting off all gas service at the meter. Some valves require a wrench
to turn them.
• Check your water heater and furnace vents. If the venting system becomes separated during an earthquake or other event, it could leak hazardous fumes into your home. Do not operate your appliance unless it is properly vented. Signs of an improperly vented appliance may include moisture
on the inside of windows or an unusual odor when the appliance is in operation.
• DO NOT ignite a flame or use any electrical appliances, light switches
or other devices that can cause a spark until you’re sure there are no gas
leaks.
• Use flashlights, not lanterns, matches or candles, to examine buildings,
as flammable gases may be inside.
