A FULL DAY OF EXCITING ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY: EXHIBITS, FOOD, CULTURAL DANCES, MUSIC & MORE ...
For centuries, in Southeast Asia, a Water Festival has been
organized annually to celebrate the importance of water in all
·aspects of life. Water was and is important to agricultural
production and the food chain of the Cambodian people. Water
also has many spiritual uses in the Cambodian religion, which is
Buddhism. November is their time to thank the water spirit and
renew their hope and faith in their own economic prosperity.
People of all ages from the cities, towns, and villages would gather
at the riverbanks to sing, dance, watch boat racing and decorated
boats float by. This Southeast Asian Water Festival seeks to build
and revitalize, in Lowell, a community tradition with a focus on
water that includes the environment. The Mekong River that runs
throughout Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam will
serve as a cultural backdrop for the Southeast Asian Water
Festival in Lowell. Asian and non-Asian youth and elders will
gather together along Lowell's Merrimack River to celebrate a vital
tradition of one of this city's largest immigrant communities.

�Testimony
Linda K. Carlisle, Commissi~ner
Department of Social Services
(House Ways and Means Committee Hearing)
February 25, 1997
G
ood afternoon Chairman Haley
and members of the committee.
I am pleased to be here today as we
begin the next budget cycle. This
hearing is an opportunity for me to
update you on the significant progress
we continue to make at the Department of Social Services. I also view
this as an important opportunity to ask
you to join with the Governor and the
Department as Massachusetts continues to chart new territory in child
welfare nationally, and help me prepare the agency to meet the demands
and challenges confronting the children and families of the Commonwealth into the next century.
F
our years ago I spoke before this
committee for the first time as the
new commissioner at DSS charged
with the enormous task of restructuring the agency, restoring credibility and moving the Department forward. At that time I referred to the
agency as the Humpty Dumpty of
state government; it had fallen off the
wall and shattered into a hundred
pieces. The agency and its staff were
at rock bottom. But I had the best
gift a new commissioner could have:
the recommendations of the Foster
Care Commission ably chaired by Attorney Gael Maghony. That document
has guided much of our work for the
last four years.
T
ast year a bi-partisan group of rep
Lresentatives and senators, as well
as members of the administration, met
for several months to develop a consensus around additional changes and
funding for DSS, particularly focused
on foster care and new options for
out-of-home placement. We have
been diligent in our efforts to achieve
those bi-partisan goals, all of which
are consistent with the recommendations of the Foster Care Commission.
I
am pleased and proud to say that,
unlike poor Humpty who couldn't
be put back together, DSS has regained its place as a national leader in
child welfare, forging new ground
with innovative, effective programs
such as our domestic violence programs and Commonworks. We have
been able to do so because there is a
broad consensus in the state around
the direction in which we are moving. We are among a handful of states
in the forefront of the use of technology to improve casework with families. Beneath it all, we have built a
solid infrastructure. Although it
doesn't capture headlines, in solid infrastructure has meant a return to the
basics in case practices: doing a solid
investigation and assessment of family needs, seeing the children regularly
and managing caseloads so that social workers are not overburdened and
can truly support the families with
whom they work.
T
he DSS story is not a fairy tale or
nursery rhyme, but a real life
story, where every chapter details new
advances in dealing with troubled children and families, an overburdened
staff and some of society's greatest
ills. · DSS provides services to more
than 20,000 families with over 43,000
children on any day. We estimate that
about 60 percent of these families have
domestic violence issues, 60 percent
have substance abuse problems and
more than half of all the mothers we
work with had their first child as a
teenager. The combination of these
three societal problems is a powerful
indicator of the families that will one
day come into contact with a DSS
social worker.
A
s a society we must take the long
view. We must help break these
cycles and raise children who do not
abuse and neglect their own children
when they become parents. Most of
the problems we encounter are intergenerational, because most of us raise
our children the way we were raised.
The programs and initiatives we have
undertaken over the past several years
must be mindful of our responsibility
in shaping many of the adults of tomorrow; we must work to break
those debilitating cycles of child abuse
and neglect, domestic violence, substance abuse and teen pregnancy. I
urge you to help continue our work
through passage of the Supplemental
Budget request pending in the legislature and by supporting the funding
levels contained in the Governor's
House One budget.
STAFF SUPPORT
Caseload
SS's work begins with trained,
professional staff. My Job as
Commissioner is to make sure they
have manageAble workloads, the tools
to do the jobs (like phones and computers), and receive the guidance they
need by establishing expectations and
then measuring how . well we do
against those expectations. It is also
critical that all state agencies work cooperatively to ensure that services
such as mental health services, medical treatment, substance abuse treatment and day care are available to our
families.

M
odern Cambodia has its roots
deep in the mists of time. As
early as 4200BC, there were people
with the ability to make pots living
in a cave in north-western Cambodia. Human bones found at
Samrong Sen--settled since
lS00BC--indicate that prehistoric
Cambodians there resembled the
Cambodians of today ...
By Jane Turner
An old Cambodian legend has it
that the country ' s origins may be
traced to the marriage of a foreigner
and a dragon process- or nagiwhose father was the ruler of a waterlogged land.
One of several version of the tale
holds that a brahman called
Kaundinya, bearing a magical bow,
was sighted one day off the Cambodian shoreline. The dragon-princess
rowed out to meet the brahman but
he shot an arrow in her direction
which struck her boat. The act so
frightened the princess that, out of
fear, she agreed to marry the foreigner.
Kaundinya made a gift of clothing
to her, and the dragon-king, for his
part, "enlarged the possessions of his
son-in-law by drinking up the water
that covered the country. He later built
them a capital and changed the name
of the country to 'Kambuja' ." Their
marriage represented, among other
things, a union of the sun and moon
and the birth of the land of Cambodia.
While magical bows and dragon
kings shed little light on actual history,
the fable is an analogue for what historians do know about ancient Cambodia-and much of the rests on the
lives not of dragon kings but of the
Khmer people's ancient rulers. Much
of what is known about ancient Cambodia related to the Khmer kings because the sources of information are
inscriptions related to projects com-
missioned by them or by high placed
officials.
Cambodia's is a complex, ancient
history-a subj ect often shrouded in
mystery and as misinterpreted and
misunderstood as the nation's contemporary politics. While many of the
secrets of its ancient past have yet to
be reveal3d, legacies such as the magnificent Angkor Wat beg questions and
further research for generations to
come.
Perhaps the foremost question is,
"where the original people of Cambodia come from?" No one knows for
sure. There is much debate among
academics as to whether the earliest
arrivals were from India, China or
South East Asia. There is even debate that pre-historic peoples migrated
to the region.
Research has also failed to uncover which languages the original
Cambodians used before the advent
of an Indian-style alphabet around
AD300. But, as far back as 2000
years ago, the people of Cambodia
spoke languages linked to the Cambodian language used today- Khmer.
Languages that are part of the MonKhmer family remain across mainland
South-East Asia, on some of the islands and in certain parts oflndia, and
Chinese-influenced present-day Vietnamese is a distant relative of this family.
What is known, and has been confirmed by carbon testing, is that there
were people with the ability to make
pots, who lived in a cave at Laang
Spean in north-western Cambodia, as
early as 4200BC . It is presumed that
the first Cambodians arrived long before then. Human bones found at
Samrong Sen- settled since
l 500BC- indicate that pre-historic
Cambodians there resembled the Cambodians of today, when allowance is
made for Chinese and Vietnamese influences on the race.
It is thought the prehistoric
peoples of Cambodia were mainly fish
eaterslike their
descendants who lived
in struct u r e s
above the
ground
w hi Ch
they ac' c es s e d
using ladd e r s .
Early Chinese account s
describe
them as being "naked"; apparently
fashion and exterior adornment did not
figure prominently in those times.
Later, around 1000BC, they lived in
fortified villages, laid out in circular
fashion, sharing them with domesticated pigs and water buffalo. Rice
and root crops were grown.
"Indianisation" is an important feature, lasting more than 1000 years in
early Cambodian history, although it
is not known how the process was
triggered or operated at different
times. However, in the first 500 years
AD, Cambodia gleaned from India a
system of writing, Sanskrit, a panContinue to page 14

theon, meters for poetry, a social hierarchy system that differed from
caste, and fresh perspectives on everything from politics to architecture
and aesthetics. As academic David P.
chandler describes it in A History of
Cambodia: "Without India, Angkor
would never have been built, yet
Angkor was never an Indian city, any
more than medieval Paris was a Roman one."
The first few centuries AD in Cambodi a are known almost entirely from
the accounts of Chinese historiansthat is from the first century to the
middle of the sixth century. The late
eminent historian Geoge Coedes described the Cambodia of this time as
the center of a Hinduised kingdom
which controlled a large part of the
peninsula and which the Chinese called
"Funan". This word was a transcription of the Khmer phnom, meaning
mountain, according to Coedes. "The
title of these kings was significant,
'kings of the mountain', and it was
after this title that the Chinese named
the country."
More recently, historians such as
Chandler and Paul Wheatley have suggested there is stronger evidence that
the site of "Funan" was in fact a cult
site rather than a major unified kingdom. While it is possible that
chiefdoms in Cambodia occasionally
banded together and called themselves
a kingdom so as to send tributary
goods to China, Chandler says: It is
possible that Funan was thought to
be a major kingdom because the Chinese wanted it to be one and later because French scholars were eager to
find a predecessor for the highly centralized kingdom of Angkor, which developed in the ninth century."
One of the real achievements of
the so-called Funan era is said to have
been systematic irrigation. Buddhism
from India also flourished during this
time, and many of the Chinese sources
describe commodities of trade, local
custom and centralization. In the seventh and eight centuries AD, coastal
trading
states like
Fun an
dwindled
or changed
into settlements further inland,
w hi Ch
Chandler
says were
known in
the Cambodian
case by the
collective
t e r m
"Chenla".
The wealth
of these
kingdoms
came from
wet-rice
agriculture
and manpower mobilization,
and
not
subsistence agriculture or
trade.
Cambodia's great Angkorean age
is usually dated between AD802 and
1431, although these are not hard and
fast "beginning and end" pointers. The
word Angkor comes from the Sanskrit word nagara meaning town and
the state known today as Angkor,
which arose in north-west Cambodia
in the ninth century, had been the
homes of Khmer speakers for several
hundred years.
In the eighth century, Cambodia
was divided in two, suggests George
Coedes. Java had probably invaded
and annexed part of the territory. In
the dying years of the century, a prince
with distant links to a past Cambodian regime returned from Java and
proclaimed the independence of Cambodia from Java. He also forged the
cult of the god-king which was to be
the hallmark of Khmer civilization.
This great king, known as Jayavarman
II (802-850), installed himself over
time in four capitals north of the
Grand Lake Tonie Sap. After 48 years
of a rocky reign, during which time
he unified and pacified Cambodia,
Jayavarman II died near Rolous in 850.
He had paved the way for a line of
kings in the Angkor region for the next
600 years.
His son Jayavarman III (850-877)
and his nephew Indravarman (877889) remained at Rolous. Later,
Yasovarman, Indravarman' s son
moved the capital to the north-west'
calling it Y asodharapura and having th~
vast Baray Oriental basin dug in the
vicinity. King Jayavarman IV abandoned this site in 921 and returned to
Angkor. He built a new capital at Koh
Ker, distinguished by towering, decorative monuments. But in 944, Coedes
recounts,
his
successor

all accounts, they were the glue holding DSS together, yet caseloads were
high, morale was low and professional
development was not at the caliber it
should have been for an agency like
DSS. Thanks to the Governor and
the legislature, since FY'93 there has
been an increase of nearly 300 social
workers and about a dozen lawyers.
DSS spending in the social worker
account has increased from $54.2m
in FY 90 to a projected $84.4m in FY
98. I am pleased to report that for the
first time in the history of DSS, the
statewide average social caseload has
been below 18: 1 for the past six
months. This is a trend we hope to
continue. Our next goal is to see that
no individual worker has a caseload
higher than the standard. We think
we can achieve this within the cur-
rent staffing levels. This budget marks
the first time that I have not requested
additional staff
Worker Safety ·
and-in-hand with caseload reduc
tion is the need to provide staff
with the safest work environment possible. We were all shocked and saddened to learn of the murder of Linda
Sylva, an investigator in our Cape office in September. Although her killer
has not been apprehended, and the
motive cannot be linked to DSS at this
time, her death has unleashed pent up
anxiety among staff about their safety
and prompted a renewed focus on
worker safety issues . DSS staff
works in the shadow of violence everyday. They go places some police
say they will not go without backup.
It is crucial we give them the tools to

Governor Weld filed a $4.8 supplemental budget request in January for
various safety items for DSS. Such
items include bullet resistant glass in
reception areas, beepers , cell ular
phones worker safety training, telephones and other items. We hope you
will look favorab ly on this request as
soon as possible. Let's not wait until
another tragedy occurs. Many of
these items are one-time expenditure.
However, House One also included the
annualization of items that are not onetime expenses.
O
ne item in the supplemental bud

the need for a new phone system. This
is certainly not an exciting request.

Rajendravarman consolidated Angkor
as the site of the royal court and it
remained the home of Khmer kings
from then on.
After the reign of Jayavarman V
(968-1001 ), the builder of Banteay Srei
and Takeo, the Cambodian kingdom
passed to a dynasty that was, almost
exclusively, of foreign blood. The
work of Coedes reveals these to be
Suryavarman I (1002-1050), a "conquering king from the valley of
Menam", UdayadityavarmanII (10501066), the builder of the Baphuon,;
and Harshavarman III. In the year
1080, Jayavarman VI, unrelated to
previous kings of the same name, installed himself with the aid of Brahman Divakara as a king of a new dynasty---one which was to survive until the 14 th century.
One of the undisputed great kings
of Cambodia was Suryavarman II,
ruler from 113-1150, who was responsible for the building of Angkor Wat
and whose image appears there on the
bas-reliefs. "His reign lasted 40 years
and was full of daring conquests,
which led for a time to annexation of
part of Champa. There followed a
period of fresh troubles during which
the Chams revenged themselves by
invading and destroying Angkor. They
were finally driven away by
Jayavarman VII, the last great king of
Cambodia, who was crowned in
1181, and who not only reconstructed
the capital but added an astonishing
number of buildings," Coedes writes
in his book Angkor.
Crowned in 1181, Jayavarman VII
devoted himself to the teaching of
Mahayana Buddhism- the form still
practiced in a great part of northern
Asia. But after his death, subsequent
Cambodian kings were threatened by
the Thais, who had established themselves in the Menam valley. This was
the beginning of the end of an era for
Cambodia. The Khmers' decline was
not rapid, however, and it was not until
the 15 th century that the court left
Angkor for Phnom Penh. The present
capital is near what some believe to
have been the ancient capital ofFunan,
and ofpre-Angkorean Cambodia.

�Khmer Traditional Music
Class at CMAA
F
or the last five months, the
Cambodian Mutual Assis
tance Association ( CMAA)
has had the fortune to begin focus-
ing intensively once again on our
youth issues, problems and successes
within our community. We are very
greatful for the constant support of
the Office of Refugees & Immigrants (ORI), especially in the youth
aspect. With the leadership of Mr.
ARN CHORN-POND as a youth
partner and coordinator for the
CMAA, the Youth Corps / Peer
Leadership Program has now began
to be very active again, and we are
very thankful !
T
he Youth
Corps/
Peer Leadership Program involves 15 to 20
Cambodian youths
who are currently in
their commitment, skills and willingness to volunteer to help their community. Peer Leaders are involved
in organizing, planning and educating their younger peers and
the community as a whole
about health issues, youth
issues, and other activities
including : Peer Counseling
and Environmental Project,
Pregnancy Prevention Educ a ti on and Conferences
Workshop Planning. Recently we has just began the
Cambodian Traditional Music Class for the 'at risk'
youths. The Peer Leaders are also
helping in organizing events like
fundraising parties for youth projects
and helping to plan the Summer
School for the CMAA in the hope to
keep the Cambodian youths busy,
having fun and become productive
citizens to their community. If you
like to be involved, please contact
Mr. ARN CHORN-POND at the
CMAA. Tel # is
( 508 ) 454-4286. Thank you !

cause our phones are so antiquated
that we lose a large number of calls
each day, but it is also a service issue
as teachers, therapists, doctors and
foster parents find it nearly impossible
to reach their social workers. Often
it is thought that DSS staff is unresponsive, when in fact there is no
good system for even receiving calls
or taking messages. The equipment
we have in most DSS offices is not
even made anymore. We have been
relegated to snapping up phones no
longer used by other state agencies
that have upgraded their systems in
order to augment our supply of
phones. We need to invest in something that sounds mundane, but is the
lifeblood of our work. Please support a new telephone system for DSS.
Professionalization of Staff
he work DSS social workers do
is one of the most difficult jobs in
the Commonwealth. All of the most
horrific societal issues from domestic violence and substance abuse to
chronic neglect and child abuse converge at DSS. It is essential that staff
have the most up-to-date training to
deal with these problems. In the past
year we have totally revamped the preservice training program for new social workers, implementing a competency based training program. This
pre-service program will form the
basis for licensing all DSS social
workers in the future as required by
the Legislature.

�NEW HOSPITAL PROVIDES FREE CARE
IN PHNOM PENH
Sihanouk Hospital Center for HOPE opened on December 10, 1996 in Phnom
Penh to provide free medical care for the people regardless of race, class, or financial
situation.
The hospital is already seeing 300 outpatients a day and is soon to begin 24 hour
emergency services.
We need your support and financial assistance to begin inpatient and surgical care
by mid-1997. Those in Cambodian who have suffered so much and still so desperately
lack the medical care they need will benefit directly from your donation.
An international staff of doctors, nurses and technicians have been assembled by
HOPE worldwide. The plan of hiring and training 25 Cambodian physicians and 200
other hospital staff has begun.
Through a number of corporate and private donors the construction of the hospital
has been completed and outpatients are being served. HOPE worldwide will provide the
administrative experience to run this landmark training facility and needs $1.5 million
annually to fund on-going hospital expenses to allow equal access to health care for all
Cambodians.
HOPE worldwide is a 50l(c)(3) non-profit and non-governmental organization in
special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
Tax deductible donations should be made to HOPE worldwide - Cambodia
Hospital, at 148 E. Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, PA 19087 USA phone 610/254-8800.
If you can be of any assistance to the Sihanouk Hospital Center of HOPE or would like
further information please complete the form below and sent to the address below.

cation program for social workers
who wish to obtain their MSW; and
the field placement program for all
students doing internships at DSS.
T
his is a very exciting that will en
hance the training we will be able
to do, increase the number of social
workers with advanced degrees and
allow us to receive federal reimbursement for the project. Although this
program is federally reimbursable, we
need the commitment from the Legislature to move forward. In addition
to the work we are doing with Salem
State, I have convened a task force to
work with the schools of social work
throughout the state to strengthen the
relationship between DSS and the
schools, thereby improving the job
readiness of our clinical staff. It is
expected that this work can also help
us undertake additional research to
better understand how we can assist
families. This task force, chaired by
Loretta Kowal, will provide me with
great insight into how we can enhance
collaboration with the public and private institutions that prepare staff for
this line of work.
FamilyNet
amilyNet, our major technology
initiative will completely revolutionize the way we do our work and
allow workers to spend more time
with families as opposed to pads, pencils and desks. DSS has not upgraded
from its monster mainframe system
that was developed in the early 80's.
Thanks to Rep. Angelo Scaccia and
Speaker Finneran, we are well on our
way to implementing a new computer
system that capitalizes on 75 percent
funding from the federal government
for a limited period of time.
F
P
art of the federal Statewide Auto
mated Child Welfare Information
System, FamilyNet will replace case
records stored in green three ring.
binders with an online, interactive system. It will streamline casework, dra-
matically reduce paperwork and speed
efficiency of document transmittal
between offices. The system will help
match waiting children with prospective foster and adoptive parents as
well. Part of the design also includes
interfaces with other state agencies,
which will result in better service to
our families. For example, we will be
able to link up with Medicaid's computer system to find out if a child is
already enrolled in an HMO and who
is his primary physician. This project,
in development since 1994, is set to
become operational in August. It is
one of the most exciting technological advances in state government today. This project has been in large
part funded through a federal match
program. the Governor's House One
includes $3 .21 million to operationalize
FamilyNet. This funding is critical to
our ability to keep the system going
once the federal match expires. The
federal dollars support development
but not ongoing costs of running the
system.

"
hen children need to be placed
outside of their families home, this
is when foster care is utilized. DSS first
attempts to place children with family
members, when none are available or appropriate, we than place children infoster homes. DSS does try to place children in their own ethnic background, but
this is not always possible because of
the shortage of homes we have available . DSS also tries to keep sibling
groups together, and we do try to avoid
making children change school districts.
All of these factors are considered when
trying to find a foster home . None of
these factors are possible sometimes because of the shortage of foster homes.
W
e are appealing to the Greater
Lowell community in trying to
open new foster homes. The more foster homes we can have available, the
better chance we will have as an agency
to place children in appropriate foster
home setting. If you want more information on how to become a foster parent
please contact:
Susan Tucke or Michael Ben
Ho @ 452-8970. The Lowell
DSS office is located at 33 E.
Marrimack St. This office services Lowell and the seven surrounding communities.
