CASS LAKE BENA TEACHER WINS AWARD

Cass Lake Bena Elementary Music Teacher Linda Wagner was crowned Ms. Senior America last Saturday at a ceremony in Las Vegas. She said secret to life is being active and staying involved and when she sits around and does nothing, that's when she starts to feel old. Wagner is 61 and sang opera at the Las Vegas contest. She won the state title in September. She also teaches music at Bemidji State University and is a big supporter of the community orchestra. Wagner said at the top of the list now is making travel plans to Omaha and Atlantic City for a parade, and somehow fitting all that around her full-time job duties. The Ms. Senior America contest is for women 60 and older.
