What’s new for phase 2
of your life.
Angela
Bartell
A trailblazer takes a break
by Amanda N. Wegner
Any interview that begins by turning
the tables on the questioner is sure
to be an interesting one.
And with Angela Bartell, former Dane
County Circuit Judge and Chief Judge of the
Fifth Judicial District, that’s certainly the
case. “So what do you want to know? So
many of my stories have already been
shared,” she says. “My life has been an open
book.”read

Whether the ground is frozen and
covered in snow or soggy from
late-winter rains, March is a great
time to think about improving your landscape. “In the past, people thought of their landscape
simply as their back yard,” says Tyler
Anderson, general manager, Avant Gardening
and Landscape. “But now, it’s an inclusive
part of your living space, just outdoors.”
You want your landscape to look good and
fit your life, and like anything, landscaping is
subject to trends. But 2010’s landscaping
trends aren’t something you’ll regret at the
end of the season. complete

MIKE LECKRONE: Still flying high at 74
by Jay Rath
Mike Leckrone is 74 years old. But
every year he hangs from a trapeze
or dangles from wires, high
above the Kohl Center at the annual University
of Wisconsin Varsity Band concert.
This year’s concert celebrates the 100th
anniversary of “On, isconsin!” John Philip
Sousa called it “the finest college marching
song ever written.” The band is planning a
birthday blowout with special guest Ed
Shaughnessy, the drummer from Doc Severinsen’s
“Tonight Show” orchestra. Once
again, Mike will make a flying entrance at
some point.
While “On, Wisconsin!” seems to always
have been with us, it’s a little disconcerting
to realize that Mike is nearly three-quarters as
old as the march. To be blunt: How the heck
does he do it? Young in mind and in body,
how does the director of the UW Marching
Band put people half his age to shame?
