~ Malden Musings ~ Saint Rocco Feast Aug. 9-11
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… San Rock 2024 is right around the corner! Once again, we will gather on freshly painted, newly weed-whacked, pothole-free Pearl Street (thank you, Mr. Mayor) to celebrate the best three days of the year in Malden: Saint Rocco Feast weekend (don’t call it a festival!). Hopefully, we will have marvelous weather as the weekend welcomes pilgrims from far and wide to enjoy this spectacular three days of music, food and friendship. Gotta let Malden know this right off the bat – so many people make this event the smashing success it is. Takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make it happen. President at the Italian American Citizens’ Club Billy Settemio, San Rock Big Cheese Joyce Mover and our trusty five tool player, Anthony Spadafora, are but a few who ensure a weekend of family-friendly fun.

On the morning of Wednesday, July 17, U.S. Senator Ed Markey, State Senator Jason Lewis, Mayor Gary Christenson, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and representatives from the Boston, Cambridge and Malden Public Libraries met at the Malden Public Library to discuss the benefits of loaning Wi-Fi hotspots from schools and public libraries. The discussion was prompted by a July vote being held by the FCC to determine whether to expand the E-Rate Program to provide funding for schools and public libraries to loan mobile Wi-Fi hotspots to students and patrons. Library staff from Boston, Cambridge and Malden spoke on the benefits of Wi-Fi hotspot lending to patrons and members of the community, and how such lending programs can help bridge digital inequity and provide more opportunities for those who might struggle to afford internet access at home. The FCC vote, which was held in Washington, D.C., the next day on July 18, passed the measure to allow E-Rate funding to be used to purchase and loan mobile Wi-Fi hotspots.
