 Karen Klinkenberg, Orville Lindquist and Kay Leon, representing the Blaine Historical Society, present Mayor Tom Ryan with one of two new city flags during an offical ceremony May 1 at Blaine City Hall. Several designs were considered for the new city flag. The design of the new flag stems from a contest that was held many years ago by the Blaine Recreation Department and the Spring Lake Park Bank. The winning design was submitted by Mrs. Stanley (Bernadette) Thorup. In her design, the basic color of the flag reverts back to Sen. James Blaine, after whom the city is named. Blaine served two terms as secretary of state, in 1881 and 1889. The flag for that office had a dark blue background with one white star in each of the four corners. (Photo by Tim Hennagir)

To say this is a busy time of year around the Jenny and Rob Potter household is a understatement of Olympic proportions.
