Using drums that were designed more than 2000 years ago, the group combined complicated dance moves with ritual drumming to create a visual and sound sensation for everyone who saw them. The most popular food booth based on the lines of people waiting was Iskwelahang Pilipino (The Phillippine Society of Boston) which sold a variety of Filipino meat, rice and noodle dishes along with Turon, also known as lumpiyang saging, which is a Filipino snack made of thinly sliced bananas and a slice of jackfruit, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried. The favorite activity of many who attend the Lowell Folk Festival is simply walking through downtown Lowell, seeing friends and discovering new music and food. Many regular Lowell businesses remain open throughout the Folk Festival with special outdoor sales and dining and local TMB½relx Page.5 musical acts later in the evening. The Lowell Folk Festival is another one of the many ethnic festivals and celebrations that make Lowell such an interesting and rewarding place to live.

Certainly it is far more expensive to educate a 16 year old who arrives in the U.S. as a refugee from a war-torn country with no prior formal education than it is to educate someone with an age appropria te level of education and a mastery of the English language. If the Federal government is designating Lowell as a resettlement site for such refugees, it’s completely appropriate for local political leaders to lobby the Federal government for additional funds to offset the financial impact of refugee students on the local public schools. That’s what city leaders did back in the late 1980s when the schools were overwhelmed with an average of 50 new students each week coming from refugee camps in Thailand and the TMB½relx Page.10 Philippines. Back then, city lobbying yielded more than $500,000 in “refugee impact funds” for the Lowell Public Schools thanks to a bill pushed through Congress by then Senator Edward Kennedy. Hopefully something similar will happen now. But what if additional funds aren’t forthcoming? What are we to do? Are we to built a wall around the city? Are we to say “no more newcomers to Lowell”? Some longtime Lowell residents felt that way about the Cambodian refugees coming to Lowell back in 1987; some even said it publicly. But more reasonable city leaders, both elected and otherwise, tamped down such talk and the newcomers quickly became part of the fabric of the Lowell community. That was on display this week with the sincere and moving presentation at the start of this week’s city council meeting that recognized how the entire city pulled together in the aftermath of the deadly fire on Branch Street, a tragedy that struck the Cambodian community especially hard. Today, 25 years after their arrival as refugees, Cambodians are just as much a part of Lowell’s community as are the members of every ethnic group that’s come before them and their presence makes Lowell a better place. Yet if the “keep them out” mentality had prevailed in 1987, our Cambodian neighbors either wouldn’t be here or would have a more negative relationship with the community. Why has this issue arisen now? It’s not like immigrants and refugees just started arriving in Lowell. That was evident at this year’s Lowell High graduation ceremony which featured Air Force JROTC cadets carrying into the Tsongas Center the flags of all the nations of birth of graduating seniors. Included were the flags of Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Cote D’Ivore, China, Columbia, Cape Verde, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guinea, Honduras, Continued to page 23 KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 esIcnwgyMrbs;GñkKaMRTKNbkSse®gÁaHCati TsSn³ÉkraCüeday ³ edvdI esg hLIV aEdlehóV -eKyEM Rskfa ³ ehtuGVIk¾KNbkSse®gÁaHCati K>s>C>bþÚr\riyabTeFVIGI?

Reduced world attention on Cambodia’s situation, reduced the momentum of protests that could put the government at risk, reduced tension with angry protesters and the world was watching TMB½relx Page.11 ment is struggling protecting the current border, let alone opens the discussion of Khmer Krom land. 5. Give legitimacy the current government and by sometimes to restructuring CPP future candidates/leadership. Buying time for Prime Minister Hun Sen to complete this term and positioning his people to take over in the future and stabilize many deals in the pipeline. CNRP supporters are learning how capture what they have won; but at the same time expressed concerns and disappointments. Human evolution is about adapted to change; change is within us as tiny molecule particle inside our body constantly changing from moment to moment and as time went by we aged. We cannot stop change and certainly cannot afford to remain idle. We must adapt to change in order for our survival. In leadership you must be flexible and adapt to change when opportunity arises and you must be able to capture that moment for the national interests. People cried, why did CNRP changed their position? CNRP never change the position rather it captured the moment present to them as they see the best interest of Cambodian. This is politic; don’t hate the players, hate the game. Yesterday promised cannot remain idle or the same when opportunity arise for better future for all people; this is what leadership is all about. There will be property casualty in this game of politic when changed took place. Please keep this in mind before you involve in political game. Patriot without critical thinking is like compassion without wisdom; it could lead people into a deep cliff of no return. The question to the CNRP supporter should be, did CPP give all those items now when CNRP first demanded it? Did CPP give equal shares of NEC and other powers? Did CPP agree to reform NEC? What about now? Until CNRP started protests and rally the world then we arrived to today conclusion which you should be proud of your hard works. Reforming NEC is the key toward future fair election if you wanted to win or replaced CPP machine; the system must be changed. People needed to realize that they have won some of the battles that they strived so hard with protests and lobbying the world leaders. I say, why you don’t give CNRP leaders a chance to make change from inside the parliament. How can you help people by being outside the parliament? Cambodian suffers so much such as: land grabbing issues, immigration issues, health and safety, jobs, education, infrastructures, business developments etc. How do you think these issues being reduced if CNRP doesn’t join the parliament to resolve the issues? I want people to understand very clear; joining the parliament doesn’t mean they are joining CPP; it means they have opportunity to change the law and they can work toward finding solution for Cambodian that desperately needed representation. Who care about the poor people now in the current government? No one care about them right now; this cannot continue. This is the road toward democracy and yes it is rough road. In any dispute, if the party involved doesn’t want to sit down; how can you find solution? If CNRP stick together; they will lead Cambodian to victory some day but if they are divided; their fate is no different from the royal party. This is why it is critical that they learn from the past and not afraid to challenge CPP head on and you have done so much already. You have taken away things that they don’t want to give you; things that they don’t want you to have. You can’t win all things right now but you will in time. I will also list some of the things why CPP willing to negotiate so that CNRP supporters can see things clearly why they should remain calm and stick together not left each other in the middle of the road. For CPP; they also gained something too in order for them to agree to sign the agreement: 1. It legitimizes the government to operate; it looks good in the eyes of world democracy; although they hated to give up some of the demands. 2. By giving CNRP some power and leverages to quiet the protests and reduced pressures from the world leaders and the internal power structure; it potentially creates chaos and un-trusted environment for CNRP leaders if they show the public that they give up something easily so that the supporters wonder what happened; this is the mind game played in the past. This is the game played with the royal group in the past. Do CNRP supporters fall into the trap by dividing themselves again? Only time will tell if CNRP knows how to play the game or not. Right now; I have seen some division already because of emotional thinker rather than critical thinker. I hope they realized that 7 CNRP MP was in jail; it doesn’t look good for the government. 4. Reduced pressure from Khmer Krom Group from further protests against VN and stray away from world discussion about Khmer land seeded to VN in 1949 by the France. This is hottest topic; it will open a can of worm that no one wants take on the issues. Cambodia’s govern- Remember, CPP didn’t want to give up anything from beginning until many situations were created CNRP supporter and CPP has to deal with the situations to avoid being unplugged by the boss. At end, CNRP supporters won and they needed to learn to recognize it and capture it.

The CNRP's lawmakers-elect will be sworn in at the National Assembly in the coming week, according to Mr. Rainsy, where they will join 68 parliamentarians from the CPP to amend the Constitution in order to enshrine the autonomy of a new election commission. seemingly spurious charges of "leading an insurrection" were also released Tuesday in order to allow them to swear into the National Assembly. A statement issued by the parties after the meeting said the new electoral commission will have nine members: four selected by the CPP, four by the CNRP and a ninth selected by consensus. The selections will be made through the National Assembly standing committee. Mr. Rainsy said shortly after the meeting that the arrangement will be clearly detailed in the Constitution and form much of the document's new Chapter 15. "The Constitution will specify how the ninth [member] will be chosen. The CNRP will approve at least four, the CPP must approve four and the ninth member must be approved by both parties," he said. The opposition leader discounted the possibility of further discord between the parties over the selection of the ninth and final member. "Among so many people it would [be] very strange, very unusual and unlikely that we could not agree on one candidate because the ninth candidate will be the common candidate of both parties," he said. The present National Election Committee (NEC) is dominated by members of the CPP and has been routinely criticized by independent election monitors for its failures to hold fair elections. Interior Ministry Secretary of State Prum Sokha, who was at Tuesday's meeting and has led technical talks with the CNRP in recent months, said his party was not concerned about a deadlock in selecting the ninth member of the new commission. "If the process is stuck by not having consensus on any one candidate, the existing mechanism, the existing NEC, shall proceed normally. This is the agreement. This is to protect against deadlock," he said. Mr. Sokha also said the seven CNRP lawmakers-elect imprisoned last week after opposition supporters on July 15 violently retaliated against Daun Penh district security guards will now be protected against any prosecution. "They will be released temporarily, on bail, to let them swear in, and then the National Assembly will consider their immunity and ask the court to drop the case. But we need to get through that legal process," he said. CNRP lawmakers-elect Mu Sochua, Keo Phirum, Men Sothavrin, Ho Vann, Real Camerin, Nuth Rumduol and Long Ry, and party activist Oeur Narith, were released from prison just before 5 p.m. Tuesday and led a motorcade back to CNRP headquarters in Meanchey district. CNRP spokesman Yim Sovann declined to specify when the party's lawmakers would swear in, but confirmed they would do so before the members of the new electoral commission are chosen. "We have to amend the Constitution and amend the law. In order to amend the Constitution we have to have the meeting," he said.

At about 7 p.m. every evening, dozens of rat catchers make their way during this rainy season with no imminent fix in sight, officials said Tuesday. Flooding impacted much of the city as heavy rains fell Tuesday afternoon, causing traffic jams as motorists flocked to major thoroughfares in order to avoid smaller roads with poor drainage. City Hall spokesman Long Dimanche blamed residents for adding to the problem by blocking drains with trash or closing off manholes to avoid bad smells. Phnom Penh Municipality last August launched a campaign to encourage people to discard their waste correctly in an effort to alleviate chronic rainy season flooding. As part of the campaign, City Hall also pledged to clean the city's drainage system three times this rainy season to reduce about 70 percent of the flooding caused by blockages.

A 1980 census found fewer than 100 people from Southeast Asia living in Lowell. That early group was resourceful, however, and quickly established small businesses, community support organizations, a temple and the other things needed to create a thriving immigrant community. Over the years, a small but steady stream of Cambodians and Laotians came to Lowell. In 1986, however, that stream became a flood. The "Massachusetts Miracle" saw this state's economy booming while the rest of the country suffered from high unemployment and economic stagnation. Southeast Asian refugees who had settled in other parts of America were soon moving to Lowell, attracted by plentiful jobs and the already vibrant Cambodian community in the city. By 1987, conservative estimates held that Lowell's residents included 3,000 people from Laos and more than 18,000 from Cambodia.

While there were plenty of jobs, such a large number of new residents arriving in such a short time created strains on people and resources, especially rental housing. But the greatest impact was on the Lowell public schools which struggled to find space and bilingual teachers for the dozens of new students who were enrolling each week. In early 1987, the state department of education granted an emergency waiver that allowed Lowell to place 160 bilingual students, both Hispanic and Asian, in rented rooms at the YMCA and the Boys Club on the condition that the city would bring those students into regular facilities at the beginning of the new school year. The state also demanded that the city implement a central enrollment system that would begin to address the racial segregation that had arisen in the Lowell school system. The school committee refused to adopt such a plan and so a group of parents, mostly Hispanic but with the support of many Southeast Asians and the U.S. Department of Justice, filed a lawsuit against the city in federal court. While that lawsuit was pending, the people of Lowell in the fall of 1987 elected several new school committee members. Almost immediately, relations between the minority parents and the public school system began to improve. After countless hours of negotiations, the lawsuit was settled and the city adopted a central enrollment system that would desegregate the schools. As a result of this plan being adopted, Lowell moved to the top of the state's school building assistance program and by the early 1990s, more than a dozen brand new schools had been built with the state paying 90% of the cost. Today, Cambodian people are an integral part of the Lowell community and for many, the events of 1987 seem like ancient history. But it is important to understand that things might have ended differently if many people of good will from all groups had not come together and struggled for outcomes that were in the best interest of all residents of Lowell. It is a lesson worth remembering today. kMeNIteGs,:ajbdiesFkñúgkarGnum½tnUv KeRmagenH. b:uEnþGaRs½yedaykarKaMRTBI sMNak;CnCatimkBIPUmiPaKGasuIGaeKñy_ nig mnÞIryutþiFm’Gaemrik)andak;BakübNþwgTl; nwgRkugLÚEvlenAtulakarshB½n§. xN³EdlsMNuMerOgRtUv)anBnüareBl enAbevsnkalqñaM1987RbCaCnkñúgRkug LÚEvle)aHeqñateRCIserIsKN³kmμaFikarfμI kñúgsala. kñúgry³eBld¾xøIkarR)aRs½yTak; TgrvagmatabitasisSénRkumCnCatiPaKtic dUcCaExμr Lav nigRbB½n§salardæcab;epþIm RbesIreLIg. bnÞab;BIkarcrcad¾yUrbNþwg RtUv)anedaHRsay teTATBM r½ TI 18 KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 TMB½relx Page.16 KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 TMB½relx Page.17 KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 Cambodia Town of Lowell extrapolated school enrollment data. As the result, Lowell has a large proportion (20.2%) of Asians compared to only 5.3% statewide and also has a high proportion (14.8%) of Asianowned business versus 4.5% statewide (Census 2010). There are at least 200 Cambodian American businesses of all sizes and kinds most of which are concentrated in the Cambodia Town. Cambodian restaurants are ubiquitous; each offers a variety of authentic ethnic dishes, and it also tends to have its signature dish based on customer preference. For example, customers usually like a sour beef stew (Samlor Machu Sach Koa) at Red Rose restaurant or roasted or Apsara Jewelry on Middlesex etc. You can buy necklace with lucky charmed pendant or bracelet with artistic design or earrings of Angkorian style or contemporary Cambodian fashion. During summer weekends, you can see traditional wedding receptions at Cambodian restaurants with bride and groom wearing a set of dazzling jewelries; wedding crown, costumes, and changing each set every hour throughout the evening. Traditional wedding is customarily organized in two parts; the first part isorganized in a morning at a bride's home with invited monks chanting blessings for a couple. The reception is generally held in the evening with involves monks chanting blessing. Three Buddhist temples offer religious services in Lowell; one temple, known as Glory Buddhist temple, is located in the Cambodia Town off Chelmsford Street while two others, Trairatanaram and Khmer Lowell Temple, are in neighboring community. There are score of other cultural entities that make Lowell Cambodia Town culturally vibrant. Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association provides culturally appropriate social services; Metta Health Clinic of Lowell Community Health Center provides culturally competent healthcare services; Angkor Dance Troup and Tep Niyum Musical offer classical and folk dances for various occasions etc. In sum, Cambodia Town offers great opportunities for tourists to experiences authentic cultures and for duck at Phnom Penh restaurant or steamed soy sauce Tilapia (Trey Cham Hoy) at Mekong restaurant or Rice Field Sour Fish Soup (Samlor Machu Srae) at Piphup Thmei restaurant. All ingredients are authentic and found at local Grocery Supper Markets: Phnom Penh Market on Branch Street, Hong Kong Market on Westford, and Bangkok Market on Chelmsford Street etc. Authentic jewelry stores are also omnipresent throughout the Cambodia Town. You can find, for example, Asian Jewelry on Westford Street, and Phnom Pich Jewelry or Pailin Jewelry invited guests from both sides: the bride's side and the groom's. If interested, one can also buy traditional costumes, jewelry, lucky charms, and other souvenirs at local costume and souvenirs shops throughout the Town. Religion plays important roles in most Cambodian American life. From birth to death, Cambodians involve Buddhism one way or another. Buddhist monks are, for example, invited to chant blessing for a newborn although this practice is rare nowadays. There are usually Buddhist ceremonies throughout a year: Phjum Ben, New Year, funeral etc each of which investors to invest in new businesses, and for Cambodian Americans to be proud of. Visiting the Cambodia Town of Lowell gives you not only great memorable experiences, but also help promote sustainable economic growth that would help this former refugee community to realize its vision of economically, culturally vibrant and prosperous Cambodia Town. The Lowell Cambodia Town can be easily accessible from either I-494 exit 35 A-B-C or Route 3 or I-93; it can also be accessed through a 40-minute ride by commuter rail from Boston's North Station. sasn_dc¾ m,gkñgú shKmn_LEÚ vl ehIyRbvtþi RBwtkiþ arN_ekIteLIgGMLgú qña1M 987TMngkøay CaRBwtþikarN_RbvtþisaRsþrbs;ExμrTak;Tinnwg RkugLÚEvl. y:agNamijcMNucd¾sMxan;Edl KYryl;dwg KWlT§plxagelIGacbBa©b;kñúgrUb PaBepSgBIenH RbsinebIBuMmankarcUlrYmBI RkummnusSnigCatisasn_epSg²eTot Edl manqnÞHl¥BYtédCamYyExμr nigCnCatiGasuI GaeKñy_epSgeTotEdlBüayamts‘UTamTar RbeyaCn_dl;Gñkrs;enAkñúgLÚEvl. enHCa krNIski Sa nigCaemerond¾sxM an;Edl KYrcgcaM CaTIbMputmkdl;sBVéf¶enH( By Sengly Kong , Ph.D, Chairperson of Cambodia Town Committee In 2010, the City of Lowell designated a Cam bodia Town in order to officially recognize the Lowell Cambodian American community's contribution over the past three decades to revitalizing the partially blighted lower highland neighborhood and to elevate interest in the area's stores and restaurants, attract new businesses, bring in tourists, and increase civic pride. The designation was a timely response to the aspiration of the community and businesses as reflected in their positive responses to a brief survey in early 2010 conducted by the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) of the greater Lowell. In October 29, 2011, a Cambodia Town Committee, an organization of volunteers, was set up with the support of the Cambodian community and businesses; and the Committee works closely with the City and other community based organizations to advance a vision of economically, culturally vibrant and prosperous Cambodia Town of Lowell. Lowell is home to the second largest Cambodian American community in the United States after Long Beach, California. According to Richard Howe, co-author of a book: Legendary locals of Lowell, Cambodian refugees were attracted in large numbers to Lowell by relatively plentiful jobs in the mid 1980s and the already vibrant Cambodian community in the city. According to the 2010 US Census, Lowell has about 22,000 Cambodians; however, it is widely agreed that Cambodians in Lowell were seriously undercounted. Community leaders, who live and work for decades in the community, estimated that there are approximately 35-40,000 Cambodians about one third of the city population; the estimate is quite consistent with tmkTMB½rTI 15 CnCatiExμrdMbUgbMputEdlrs;enA>>> ehIyRkugLÚEvlGnum½tRbB½n§cuHeQμaHmCÄ mNÐl (Central Enrollment System) Edl Gackat;bnßy niglubbM)at;nUvKmøatCati sasn_ nigkarerIseGIgkñgú sala.

A full 18% of the graduating seniors in the class of 2014 were born in countries other than the United States. While there is legitimate concern about the financial impact on the schools by a number of refugee families who are already bound for Lowell from the Congo I suspect that the media-generated hysteria about unaccompanied minors from Central America coming across the USMexican border seems to be a part of it. Councilor Belanger certainly alluded to that in his remarks on Tuesday night He was also emphatic that the strated good character, honor, and integrity in all aspects of their school life.

Since the state legislature passed ed reform back in 1993, 90% of the cost of the Lowell public schools is paid by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The contribution from city tax funds is less than it was back then and is an amount mandated by state law. Since ed reform, councils have struggled to even meet that minimum funding. There was a large outlay in this year’s city budget for the schools, but that was simply making up for past shortfalls in violation of state law. To suggest that this council will spend one penny more than is absolutely mandated by state law on the public schools is deceptive because it will not. Sure the taxpayers of Lowell are also fUm:as s based nonprofit organizations to participate and present their cause to the community. "I am excited at this innovative opportunity for Non Profits to share the work that we do at this amazing new festival created by One27 Global.” says Suzanne Frechette, President of the Nonprofit Alliance of Lowell. The entire line-up of events for the 2014 Festival can be found at tlfwf.org. General Tickets will be on sale on June 23, 2014. Tickets can be purchased online at tlfwf.org or by calling 978.364.1132 (phone sales open 9AM – 5PM EST). taxpayers of Massachusetts, but financing the cost of Lowell’s public schools is a burden spread across the state and not “on the backs of Lowell taxpayers.” Again, while I’m all for lobbying for more money from the state and Feds for the Lowell public schools, public figures, both elected and otherwise, should employ such rhetoric with caution because listeners don’t always catch nuance in public statements. This was illustrated to me about ten years ago when a daily occurrence on morning talk radio was rants about “illegals.” Later on a day I had appeared as a guest on the radio, I was at a local retail establishment when the clerk, a women who I vaguely recognized from church, said I heard you on the radio this morning. I just love listening to [the host]. He’s right that we have to do something about these illegals. Just the other day I was in line at the grocery store and everyone in front of me spoke Spanish. It was terrible. That kind of ugliness is not new to Lowell. I have a deed for property on Fairmount Street from 1881 that includes as a condition of sale that “the said premises are being deeded under the express condition that the land shall never be deed or conveyed to any person born in Ireland.” As I get ready to leave for today’s offerings at the Lowell Folk Festival, I’m reminded that every group that has come to the city since its founding has been looked upon with disdain by some who came before, but with the help of more empathetic residents, the newcomers remained, persevered, and made the city a better place. As we lobby for additional funding for the cost of educating incoming refugees, we should always remember that.

Mr. Rainsy, who was banned from running in the last election and is not a lawmaker-elect, said he is seeking a meeting with King Norodom Sihamoni this week to request that his lawmakers be sworn in. "There is a schedule. It's not very precise, but I think I can say that later this week, we would go to meet with the Queen and the King," he said. "The King may grant us an audience this week. After that week, one, two or three days later, we will go to swear in at the Royal Palace." Mr. Sokha of the CPP said he believed that the CNRP's 55 lawmakerselect would be sworn in at a special ceremony on Friday. Under the new agreement, the CNRP will hold the chairmanships of five committees in the National Assembly, includ- ing a new anti-corruption committee, while the CPP will hold the five others. The CPP will retain the position of National Assembly president and the second deputy president, but the CNRP will appoint the first deputy president. Eng Chhay Eang, who will swear in as an opposition lawmaker for Kandal province, said CNRP Vice President Kem Sokha will be selected by the party to become National Assembly first vice president. "In the hierarchy of the party, His Excellency [Mr. Rainsy] is the prime ministerial candidate and Kem Sokha is the candidate for the presidency of the National Assembly," he said. "Therefore, when there is the position in the National Assembly, Kem Sokha has to get it."

The permanent committee in the lead-up to the last election expelled all the lawmakers from the Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party from parliament after the parties merged into the CNRP, citing internal rules banning lawmakers from being members of two parties at once. The united opposition then surprised the long-ruling CPP in the disputed July 2013 election, whose anniversary falls on Monday, picking up 55 seats and launching months of anti-government demonstrations in Phnom Penh calling for an election investigation or a fresh election. Under the agreement struck Tuesday, however, the election will not be moved up significantly, which marks a major concession from the CNRP. The party had been demanding since December that the next election be held much earlier than July 2018, when it is presently scheduled. At a press conference after the negotiations ended, Mr. Sokha of the CPP said that the date would be changed slightly. "The two parties agree to reset the date for the election in the future, but not for a vote before the end of the mandate," Mr. Sokha said. The CPP has since September said that it wishes to move the election only to February 2018, and Mr. Rainsy had indicated on his Facebook page late on Sunday night that the CNRP accepted the date. Mr. Sovann, the CNRP spokesman, said the opposition was pleased with the concessions it had drawn from the CPP. "We believe that from now on there will be checks and balances on power, with the ruling party and the other parties… with seats in the National Assembly making decisions and working together." KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 Continued from page 13 As Prices Fall, Rat Hunting's... previous evening's fly-covered catch. The father of three, who used to earn just 10,000 riel, (about $2.50), a day as a junk collector before becoming a rat hunter three years ago, said grinding poverty had driven him into this line of work. "We really want to change our job since it is dangerous, but we do not have a choice…. We have to find money to support our families," he said. For all of the men at the Stung Meanchey waste site who have made rat catching their livelihood, their decision comes down to simple economics. Mr. Han said he could earn as much as $32.50 per day when he first started catching, at the height of the rat market. However, the price they can fetch for their catch is now starting to fall. Sok Kom, 29, previously made about $60 per month working for an oil distribution firm but now receives 3,500 riel ($0.87) per kg of rats. He says increasing competition has driven down his nightly haul from about 15 kg to 10 kg or less, making his livelihood less sustainable than it once was. And as more people have flocked to the vocation, the sole buyer has also slashed the price for a kilogram of rodents from 6,500 riel ($1.62) to 3,500 riel. A night's work might now net Mr. Kom only $8.75, down from about $24. "If the buyer keeps decreasing the price and we can't catch as many rats, we [my wife and I] might become junk collectors," he said. Rat catchers say they must contend with vicious dogs, police who suspect them of carrying out crimes because of their spears and actual lawbreakers who believe them to be police interrupting their criminal activities. "When I go hunting at night I am afraid of the gangsters since they think we are coming to interrupt them [because of our torches]…. They sometimes chase me and try to hit me," Mr. Kom said. Fellow rat catcher Chea Oun, 31, said he regularly had to clamber into the city's drainage system to pin down his prey. "It is hard for us to catch the rats since they often stay inside the drains so we have to crawl in after them," he said. "The smell in the drains is really bad, but we have become used to it." Despite the unpleasant nature of their work, Mr. Oun said he and his fellow rat catchers had little choice but to keep hunting, even with the descending price of their catch. "We cannot complain since we have only one buyer, therefore we have no choice and we can only sell to him…. He is the one who sets the price for us," he said. The purchaser of the rats is a comparatively well-off businessman who lives in a two-story concrete house at the dump. He refused to talk to a reporter before driving away on a motorbike, but his wife, Pov Chantho, 55, said the couple bought about 100 kg of rats per day. Speaking as a steady stream of people brought their catch to be weighed outside her family's home, Ms. Chantho said the rat meat, which is stored in large plastic coolers, was being sold to Thai buyers. "We keep it for about five days and when we get about 500 kg with 10 pieces of ice and send it to Thailand," she said. TMB½relx Page.25 Continued from page 13 No End in Sight for Chronic... Mr. Dimanche said no cleaning had taken place as of yet but preparations were underway to start. Carelessly discarded trash has also meant that the ongoing construction of a $350-million drainage system by the Japan International Cooperation Agency in parts of the city has not eased flooding, either. Duong Chansarath, chief of the drainage and sewage unit at the Phnom Penh department of public works and transport, said he would like to see even more new drains but added that it would depend on whether City Hall had the budget. "The drainage system in Phnom Penh was built in French colonial times. Mostly drains are still good to use and others we can fix," he said. But on Norodom Boulevard on Tuesday evening, commuters were focused simply on getting home. Kuch Veasna, 26, a vendor at O'Russei market, said he would like to see the problem fixed. "Flooding in Phnom Penh has been a problem for a long time. It makes it really difficult to go somewhere," he said.

More than 300 youth ages 7-18 are having fun at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Lowell each day this summer. For just $15 a week, they are enjoying breakfast and lunch, including the popular Friday BBQ's. Members earn trips to the movies by completing book reports, take part in robotics and other science based programming as well as utilize technology to have fun while keeping their brains sharp for the school year. They get to explore their creative side through art (including a partnership with the Whistler House), digital arts and music classes. Youth have fun and stay fit through basketball, soccer, double dutch, group games and trips to the park. There is still time to join. The summer program runs through August 20th and the school year pro- gram-just $26 for the whole school year-begins August 26. Contact Gloria Morales at the Club for more information or to register at 978-458- 4526 x 22 or gmorales@lbgc.org. KHMERPOST USA Issue 158 July 30th- Aug 12th, 2014 TMB½relx Page.32
