"description": "With AFP Story by Veronique DUPONT: US-Energy-Gas-Environment\nWorkers chat at Consol Energy Horizontal Gas Drilling Rig exploring the Marcellus Shale outside the town of Waynesburg, PA on April 13, 2012. It is estimated that more than 500 trillion cubic feet of shale gas is contained in this stretch of rock that runs through parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia.Shale gas is natural gas stored deep underground in fine-grained sedimentary rocks. It can be extracted using a process known as hydraulic fracturing ? or \"fracking\" ? which involves drilling long horizontal wells in shale rocks more than a kilometre below the surface. Massive quantities of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into the wells at high pressure. This opens up fissures in the shale, which are held open by the sand, enabling the trapped gas to escape to the surface for collection.

Drillers have been fracking in one way or another for years in California, but the state just doesn’t have the information on where it’s happening, how much water is being used, and what sorts of chemicals are being used. Beginning in 2015, drillers will be providing that information to the state before they drill when they apply for a special fracking permit, and then after the process is complete. That information would be posted to a public website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you live near a fracking site, under this legislation, you will receive notice before drillers begin fracking near your property. You’ll be able to request a baseline water test, which essentially means that you’ll get a reading on what your water quality is like before the drilling take place, so that if there’s any problems after the fact you can say: “Look here’s how things were before, here’s how things are since drilling started, and I think drilling’s to blame here.” In a lot of other places where fracking is taking place that data simply wasn’t available, so it was hard for people to prove that it was the drilling that screwed up the water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would be enforced through fines. Drillers can face up to a $25,000 fine for each specific violation they put in place, per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are some environmental groups upset about the bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups in the state were pushing for a complete moratorium on fracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is the energy industry upset about the bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Monterey Shale is difficult to drill in. It’s broken up, and it’s segmented due to all the seismic activity that happens in California. So drillers have found that the best way to get to this oil may not be fracking, but instead sending acid underground, essentially using it to melt down the rock so they can get to the oil. So, when the bill expanded to not just cover fracking, but to cover acidizing as well, drillers really pushed back. In their mind acidizing is just part of the drilling process that they’ve been going through for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Governor Brown has said that Brown intends to sign the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Activists with Californians Against Fracking are planning on holding a protest in San Francisco Friday afternoon outside of Gov.

You’ll be able to request a baseline water test, which essentially means that you’ll get a reading on what your water quality is like before the drilling take place, so that if there’s any problems after the fact you can say: “Look here’s how things were before, here’s how things are since drilling started, and I think drilling’s to blame here.” In a lot of other places where fracking is taking place that data simply wasn’t available, so it was hard for people to prove that it was the drilling that screwed up the water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would be enforced through fines. Drillers can face up to a $25,000 fine for each specific violation they put in place, per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are some environmental groups upset about the bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups in the state were pushing for a complete moratorium on fracking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is the energy industry upset about the bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Monterey Shale is difficult to drill in. It’s broken up, and it’s segmented due to all the seismic activity that happens in California. So drillers have found that the best way to get to this oil may not be fracking, but instead sending acid underground, essentially using it to melt down the rock so they can get to the oil. So, when the bill expanded to not just cover fracking, but to cover acidizing as well, drillers really pushed back. In their mind acidizing is just part of the drilling process that they’ve been going through for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for Governor Brown has said that Brown intends to sign the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Activists with Californians Against Fracking are planning on holding a protest in San Francisco Friday afternoon outside of Gov. Jerry Brown’s meeting with Chinese officials, where a memorandum of understanding is being signed on an agreement to address climate change.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It was just something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting in the sun-dappled backroom of a lakeside home in Walker, Minn., the Fossums remembered their aunt.

She always looked wonderful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the morning of July 3, 2006, Elsie Fossum lay in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor at Claremont Place, a Los Angeles-area assisted living facility where the 95-year-old woman had lived for two years. Her eyes were bruising black, her lip and upper palate were badly cut, and her right arm was broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She looked like she went four or five rounds with Muhammad Ali,” Beverlee McPherson recalled when Fossum returned from the hospital.

They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year.

This was not the first time Diocampo had assaulted this woman, court records would later show. In 2009, Diocampo pled guilty to patient abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not until two years after his conviction that officials with California’s Department of Public Health revoked Diocampo’s certification as a nurse assistant. Diocampo did not respond to phone calls, notes or visits to his Long Beach home.

They can’t get in there. Your case might get looked at 10 years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said cases languished during his tenure because of a sprawling backlog of hundreds of complaints. He said his investigators lacked the training to handle complex cases, and he had too few investigators to begin with. Woods left his position in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2004 to 2008, public health regulators piled up more than 900 cases in Southern California — cases that involved severe injuries and suspicious deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a number of reasons for that backlog, including poor management decisions during that time in terms of how to use the resources that were available,” said Ron Chapman, who heads California’s Department of Public Health. “A backlog for investigating complaints is inexcusable; it should not have occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said a plan was implemented in 2009 to address the backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the two years that I’ve been in the job, there’s now new management from top to bottom,” he said. “We’re staying on top of all the complaints as they come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since Chapman’s been on the job, the number of nurse assistants who have lost their certifications has dropped dramatically. In fiscal year 2008, the department revoked or denied certifications in 27 percent of cases. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, that number dropped to 9 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said he sees no evidence that addressing the backlog has undermined the quality of the department’s investigations. But Marc Parker, who led the investigations section for nine years, said he was forced to cut corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110513\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog-238x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - vanishingbacklog\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>“Hundreds of cases were closed, hundreds, with nothing but a phone call,” Parker said. “The directions were to reduce this backlog, get these cases done. Staff was prohibited from traveling, restricted to sitting at their desk … except only in the most dire cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker said without facility visits, investigators are unable to see the layout of a room, conduct impromptu interviews, or assess a person’s body language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You lose all the basic cues, all the ‘tells’ that people have,” he said. “Their facial expression, eye movements, their body posture, their legs are crossed, they’re turning away from you, they look you in the eye, they don’t. If you’re doing it on the telephone, all of that is gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According the Parker, the practice of shortchanging investigations continues today. “I get emails; I get phone calls from folks who tell me what’s going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker, who retired in December of 2011, said he left earlier than planned. “I could not protect the public any longer,” Parker said. “There was just a failure to protect the most vulnerable people in our state from abuse and neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fewer cases sent to prosecutors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health regulators are legally bound to report all suspected criminal wrongdoing to the state attorney general’s office.

It was just something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting in the sun-dappled backroom of a lakeside home in Walker, Minn., the Fossums remembered their aunt. Elsie Fossum was a teacher who never married or had kids. After moving to Southern California in the 1940s, she worked mostly as a librarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110505\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 228px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110505 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Elsie Fossum travelled widely, say her family members, and New Zealand was one of her favorite countries.

She always looked wonderful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the morning of July 3, 2006, Elsie Fossum lay in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor at Claremont Place, a Los Angeles-area assisted living facility where the 95-year-old woman had lived for two years. Her eyes were bruising black, her lip and upper palate were badly cut, and her right arm was broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

McPherson, a registered nurse, supervised the nurse assistants at Claremont Place.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse assistants provide intimate care. They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year. Fossum’s caregiver is the sole person of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sprawling backlog of cases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fossum’s case is not the only one where department investigators were slow to act after allegations of physical or sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2007, nurse assistant Ricky Diocampo molested a 59-year-old female patient at Del Rio Sanitarium in Los Angeles County. This was not the first time Diocampo had assaulted this woman, court records would later show. In 2009, Diocampo pled guilty to patient abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not until two years after his conviction that officials with California’s Department of Public Health revoked Diocampo’s certification as a nurse assistant. Diocampo did not respond to phone calls, notes or visits to his Long Beach home. It is unknown whether Diocampo worked at other care facilities in the years before state regulators acted against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110510\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110510 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Ron-Chapman-02-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Ron Chapman, head of the California Department of Public Health, says he doesn't understand the reason for the decline in case referrals to the Attorney General's office.

(Adithya Sambamurthy/The Center)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I would tell anybody: Do not count on the government taking care of you,” said Brian Woods, who oversaw the department’s Southern California investigations office in 2006. “They are overworked. They can’t get in there. Your case might get looked at 10 years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said cases languished during his tenure because of a sprawling backlog of hundreds of complaints. He said his investigators lacked the training to handle complex cases, and he had too few investigators to begin with. Woods left his position in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From 2004 to 2008, public health regulators piled up more than 900 cases in Southern California — cases that involved severe injuries and suspicious deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a number of reasons for that backlog, including poor management decisions during that time in terms of how to use the resources that were available,” said Ron Chapman, who heads California’s Department of Public Health. “A backlog for investigating complaints is inexcusable; it should not have occurred.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said a plan was implemented in 2009 to address the backlog.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the two years that I’ve been in the job, there’s now new management from top to bottom,” he said. “We’re staying on top of all the complaints as they come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since Chapman’s been on the job, the number of nurse assistants who have lost their certifications has dropped dramatically. In fiscal year 2008, the department revoked or denied certifications in 27 percent of cases. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, that number dropped to 9 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chapman said he sees no evidence that addressing the backlog has undermined the quality of the department’s investigations. But Marc Parker, who led the investigations section for nine years, said he was forced to cut corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110513\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-vanishingbacklog-238x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - vanishingbacklog\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>“Hundreds of cases were closed, hundreds, with nothing but a phone call,” Parker said. “The directions were to reduce this backlog, get these cases done. Staff was prohibited from traveling, restricted to sitting at their desk … except only in the most dire cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker said without facility visits, investigators are unable to see the layout of a room, conduct impromptu interviews, or assess a person’s body language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You lose all the basic cues, all the ‘tells’ that people have,” he said. “Their facial expression, eye movements, their body posture, their legs are crossed, they’re turning away from you, they look you in the eye, they don’t. If you’re doing it on the telephone, all of that is gone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According the Parker, the practice of shortchanging investigations continues today. “I get emails; I get phone calls from folks who tell me what’s going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parker, who retired in December of 2011, said he left earlier than planned. “I could not protect the public any longer,” Parker said. “There was just a failure to protect the most vulnerable people in our state from abuse and neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fewer cases sent to prosecutors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health regulators are legally bound to report all suspected criminal wrongdoing to the state attorney general’s office.
