Page 10 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, January 6, 2023 MCNAUGHT | FROM PAGE 1 McNaught was appointed as Malden's new City Solicitor and Carol Ann Desiderio, who has served as Assistant City Clerk for many years, was appointed as City Clerk— both in unanimous Malden City Council votes in recent meetings. Attorney McNaught was appointed to fill the unexpired term of former City Solicitor Kathryn Fallon, who departed in August to take a similar position in Wakefield after 15 years at the head of the Malden Law Department. McNaught was appointed to fill her unexpired term, which runs until January 1, 2025 by a 10-0 Council vote. He had been serving as interim City Solicitor since Fallon's departure in August. Desiderio, who has served as Assistant City Clerk for over 10 years, was also appointed as City Clerk by a unanimous Council vote at a recent meeting. She began her full-time duties, replacing outgoing City Clerk Greg Lucey, at her first official City Council meeting this week on Tuesday evening. Lucey had been Malden's City Clerk for the past three years and announced his retirement at the end of the 2022 calendar year earlier this fall. He had served about 20 years in municipal positions overall, including past posts as School Committee member, on the City Council for many years and in the City Treasurer's Office in past years. Vice Chairperson of the Council's Personnel and Appointments Committee, Ward 3's Amanda Linehan, introduced Attorney McNaught as the finalist at the Council meeting, explaining that there two final candidates and McNaught was the best choice. McNaught appeared at the meeting and gave his background, noting he had been married 55 years and had two children in their 50s. He had started his professional career in another field, before becoming a practicing attorney for 47 years, also previously serving Melrose City Solicitor before coming to Malden nine and a half years ago and serving with former Solicitor Fallon.

Vertep is the Ukrainian cultural tradition of Christmas puppet theater that began in the 17th century. Traveling groups of performers shared stories interweaving scenes from the nativity with daily life, with up to 40 distinct characters. The Vertep theatre developed into numerous regional variants but always with a central storyline: the conflict between good and evil. Evil is always vanquished and good always triumphs. Vertep was an illegal practice during the Soviet occupation of Ukraine but continued to be performed in secret as a way for the Ukrainian people to both rebel and preserve their culture. Today, with darkness looming over Ukraine, these rich traditions offer a light of hope to lead us through this joyous season. The Ukrainian Cultural Center of New England hopes to share this tradition to bring hope, faith and joy to our communities – by reminding us that good will always win over evil.
