HSE recertified for clean air

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com At its Oct. 23 meeting, the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Board of Trustees received ENVIRONMENT an official recertification of its 2018 Clean Air Award, presented by the National Air Filtration Association in recognition of the use of high-efficiency filtration products and top-notch maintenance practices while also reducing overall operating costs.

Ernie Kelly, Kelly president of Filter Services of Indiana, presented the recertification.

“Some of the main criteria that is used is that the facility and maintenance department and the decisions that they make represent a 14 percent reduction in energy cost,” he said. “It also represented a 14 percent reduction in (carbon dioxide) emissions, 20 percent reduction in the final stage filter cost, and because the final stage filters last double the time of the previous filters that were being used, it actually cuts your labor, as well as your disposable cost, in half.”

In 2018, HSE was one of 32 institutions to receive the award. This year, it was one of 33.

“Only 24 of the 2018 class, one of them being Harvard University, were recertified,” Kelly said. “The class of 2019 had 33 recipients, one of them being Texas A&M University.”

By Jessica Hoover news@currentinfishers.com Students at Little Explorers Preschool have raised more than $2,500 for charity.

Each year, the FUNDRAISER school takes part in Penny Wars, a fundraiser that encourages students to donate loose change through a friendly competition between classrooms.

“All of the pennies went to the jars in their classrooms, and any silver coins went to another classroom’s jar,” said Tori Schuh, the activities director at Little Explorers Preschool.

“We had a point system where the silver coins were actually negative points. So, if they put a dime in the other classroom’s jar then it was negative toward their overall points.

So, the goal was to bring in lots of pennies for your own jars, but bring in silver coins for everybody else’s.

That was still a win-win because the charity would still get that money. As we were getting toward the very end, we also (implemented) a dollar bill challenge. Any dollar in your jar was positive points for your class.”

From left, Vincent Qu, Benny Marrs, Ella Thorne, Amelia Rogowski and Arianna Kohl. (Submitted photo)

Students brought in a total of $2,526.69.

Schuh said one of her favorite things about the fundraiser was how creative the students were in finding ways to raise money.

Each of the preschool’s seven classrooms chose a specific charity to donate their money to, which included The Animal Protection League of Indiana, Humane Society for Hamilton County, The Ronald McDonald House, Operation Christmas Child, The Peyton Reikhof Foundation for Youth Hope, First Responders Children’s Foundation and The Transverse Myelitis Association.

“Any patient that is in the hospital on Christmas morning gets a twin-sized quilt, and some are even bigger,” said Diane Dimpfl, administrator of the Community North Quilting Bee. “The Community North Hospital believes there is no place lonelier than being in a hospital on Christmas morning, because if you’re a patient there, you more than likely don’t have a visitor. So, we go in and wish them a happy holiday and give them the quilt. It’s a very, very emotional expe-

Fishers resident Sarah E. Morin, recently wrote a short story BOOKS inspired by her mother, Brenda Morin, that was published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Think Positive, Live Happy.”

The book has 101 stories about people using a constructive mindset to achieve success, come back from trauma or disasters and reboot their lives.

“When I was trying to think of someone who really exemplified that theme, I thought of my mom,” Morin said. “I thought the story would be a lovely way to honor her.”

Morin’s story was about a difficult time for her family and during her mother’s battle with breast cancer.

Fifteen years ago, Brenda was diagnosed with cancer and had to go

through chemo radiation and surgery.

The story is written from Morin’s perspective, as the daughter watching her mother go through the emotions of the diagnosis and the fear of the unknown.

Brenda said the support from her family and friends was what kept her positive during her battle. She has been cancer-free for 15 years.

Graduate profile: Jordin Alexander

By Desiree Williams news@currentinfishers.com

degrees were both indicative of that interest.

Jordin Alexander, 25, is a 2012 graduate of Hamilton Southeastern High School. She is EDUCATION an economic development specialist for the City of Fishers.

Q: Tell me about your path post-graduation.

A: During grad school, I worked for a civil engineering firm. After that experience of working with private developers, but also interacting with the public sector, I knew I wanted to get into a field where I was exposed to a variety of disciplines while working between private and public sectors. So, that realization eventually led to my current position.

Q: What was your favorite subject in high school and why?

A: I would say history, simply because I have always been interested in how people and events have shaped the world we live in today.

Also, I had awesome history and government teachers at HSE.

Q: What are you doing now?

A: I am working as an economic development specialist for the City of Fishers. I have been here for just over a year, and so far, working for the community that I grew up in and getting the chance to have a role in our development and growth, has been awesome and gratifying as well.

Q: What do you miss most about high school?

A: I definitely miss Friday night football games. HSE always had such a great energy surrounding football and athletics in general, and the engagement among the student body made Friday Alexander nights a great time.

Q: Can you tell me about your collegiate experience?

A: For undergrad, I studied public health at Brown University, where among other things, I played basketball for four years. After graduating from Brown in 2016, I had a fifth year of eligibility with the NCAA, so I decided to play a year at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers while pursuing a master’s in public administration and environmental policy.

After graduating in 2018 from FGCU, I moved back to the Fishers area later that year.

Q: Why did you choose that major?

A: I always knew I wanted to go into a field where I could see an impact on a community and help shape outcomes for people, whether that be quality of life, or health, or the physical environment in a community. My undergraduate and graduate

Q: Do you have any advice for younger students?

A: I would say be involved in as much as you can to get the most out of what the HSE school system has to offer. If you do not realize it already, when you graduate from HSE or Fishers, you will quickly realize how lucky you were and prepared you are for whatever your next step is. Also, as you move on to post-secondary opportunities and start your careers, remember the incredible area you live in now, and remember it is a great, and is constantly becoming an even better, place to return, to live and work.

The event starts at 7 p.m. Guests can enjoy chocolate and beverage samples from local restaurants and businesses, including Eddie Merlots, Krenolie’s Donuts, Texas Roadhouse, Cooper’s Hawk, divvy, Woodys Library, Sun King Brewery, Basket Pizzazz and Cretia Cakes.

“We’ll have raffle baskets, a wine pull, vendors, live music and a fun photo booth,” Gamble said. “It’s just a fun time for people to come out, mingle, have everything chocolate they can imagine and some wine tasting and bourbon tastings.”

The event is the largest fundraiser for Cherish.

“We do hold a breakfast every year, but that is more about acknowledging our community partners,” Gamble said. “This is more about having a fun night while raising money for our organization.”

General admission tickets are $45, VIP tickets are $100 and a four-pack of tickets is $150. For more, visit cherishcac.org/events.

Veteran works to honor military service in Fishers

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com El Ahlwardt inititally planned to pursue a career COVER STORY in business management. But after his junior year of college, he changed course and joined the U.S. Navy.

His 21-year naval career ended when he retired in 1994 when Fort Harrison in Lawrence was decommissioned. Since then, he’s dedicated much of his time to honoring military service through City of Fishers ceremonies.

“I got Cs in citizenship in the fourth grade,” Ahlwardt said. “They said, ‘Elmer talks too much in school,’ and then I became a spokesman for the Navy for 17 years.”

Today, Ahlwardt serves as the emcee for all of the city’s military ceremonies, which are held each Memorial Day, National Vietnam War Veterans Day, Korean War Armistice Day, Independence Day and, of course, Veterans Day. “What I like to do with ceremonies is teach someone something they didn’t know, the differences between Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day,” he said. “Memorial Day is all about honoring war dead, people who died while they were on active duty. It all started from the Civil War. There were 700,000 people killed, and North or South, it doesn’t matter, people were grieving. So, they decorated graves with flowers. It was a grassroots effort that became a big deal.

Veterans Day is something very different. It honors anyone who has

served – but not currently, that’s Armed Forces Day.” During his military career, Ahlwardt and his family were stationed in 13 different places in 21 years before moving to Fishers, where he served as the officer in charge during a joint assignment at the Dept. of Defense Information School at Fort Harrison.

“When I was stationed at Fort Harrison, they said they were going to close the base. I was told I had six months left, and then they were going to move me to Maryland,” he said. “So, that kind of forced our hand to be thinking about my retirement. Our daughter was at Hamilton Southeastern (High School), so we decided instead of moving again that we’d stay put. I’ve driven my family down 116th Street for years, and we just had a good feel about it. I don’t know where this connection to this city started, but it’s just a great place to live.”

Ahlwardt, 68, said he doesn’t remember how many years ago he began leading the city’s Memorial Day ceremony but said with the growth of military service recognition programs, he feels compelled to help people understand what military service is about.

“It makes you feel good.” “It’s OK to get mushy about service. It ties the community together.”

Born in Norfolk, Va., Ahlwardt’s father also served in the Navy and his family moved all across the nation before landing in Florida, where he grew up and eventually enlisted on Dec. 22, 1971.

“I was a junior at Florida State (University), went home for Christ-

ATTEND THE VETERANS DAY CEREMONY What: The City of Fishers will conduct its annual Veterans Day ceremony with Navy Veteran El Ahlwardt as the emcee.

“This is a national holiday, and if you’ve got nothing better to do, you might want to come and participate,” Ahlwardt said. “In addition to honoring veterans, there’s a little bit of education about mas vacation, and I asked my dad if he was busy the next day because I wanted him to swear me into the Navy,” Ahlwardt said. “He had no idea it was coming, and he loved it. I told him, ‘Your whole life has spoken to me about military service.’ So, he swore me in, and when I retired in 1994, he was at my retirement ceremony and participated by wearing his uniform and saluting me. He was a bookend at both ends. He died in January 2002, right after 9/11.

“On Sept. 11, 1943, my dad’s ship was hit by a German bomb and 200 crew members died. He said then, ‘I thought 9/11 was only important in my life in 1943.’ When 2001 happened, it just ripped a scab off of his life.”

During his time in the Navy, Ahlwardt was a surface warfare officer, specializing in anti-submarine warfare and serving in the Pacific at the naval facility in Pacific Beach, Wash., and served on the frigate USS Albert David, homeported in San Diego. He then became a spokesman for the Navy, serving 16 years as a special

where Veterans Day comes from.

Do you know what happened on Nov. 11, 1918?”

Donuts and coffee will be served to veterans from 8 to 10 a.m., before the start of the ceremony.

When: 10 a.m. Nov. 11 Where: City Hall auditorium, 1 Municipal Dr., Fishers. duty public affairs officer. In that capacity, he served in Yokosuka, Japan, as the assistant public affiars officer for the Commander of Naval Forces Japan; public affairs officer for the U.S. Naval Medical Command in San Diego; joint duty within the Public Affairs Directorate at the headquarters of the U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, Germany; PAO aboard the battleship USS Wisconsin, first in Pascagoula, Miss., and then in Norfolk, Va.; PAO for the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, R.I.; followed by serving as the Navy’s officer-in-charge during a joint assignment at the Dept. of Defense Information School at Fort Harrison.

Ahlwardt will lead the Nov. 11 Veterans Day ceremony at City Hall.

“What we’re trying to do is get the word out so that if you move into town or if you live in town and wonder if you’re invited, you are,” Ahlwardt said. “Come down and honor your dad, uncle or any other family member who served. We’re just trying to honor our veterans.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Referendum conundrum

Trump not a source of pride

Commentary by Terry Anker California nearly has bankrupted itself with referendums. All sorts of initiatives are brought to the ballot without much in the way of how those items might be financially supported. Good citizens evaluate the “worthiness” of the requests and vote accordingly. Without understanding context, or cost, voters leave state officials scrambling to pay for it all. Occasionally, the state’s Supreme Court will prevent the addition of a referendum to the ballot, like it did with a move by many citizens to divide the state into three distinct states. But generally, the initiatives go to the voters with many open questions.

Still, referendums may be the most direct way for citizens to interact with our democracy. Voters decide which, if any, things matter.

Political subdivisions make choices which may make it more, or less, successful to retain and attract us to the fold. Competition is good.

Even if not, it is ubiquitous.

In our own fine state, referendums usually are limited to school funding. What is our appetite for spending? What risk will we tolerate? If we don’t support the effort, what harm is caused? Will not spending have a greater impact than the surety if we do?

Ballot initiatives are growing in import. Be informed and vote like it matters. Isn’t skipping it assuredly a failure to our responsibility in a democracy? This referendum conundrum requires something from us and we should give it.

Aglow in the fall gloom Commentary by Danielle Wilson I don’t know if it’s my British ancestry or my highly flammable ginger complexion, or perhaps HUMOR even, according to my husband, Doo, my cold and dead soul, but I am digging the rainy weather outside my windows right now.

There’s just something about a dreary day. I love that Mother Nature has given me permission to sit on this couch and ignore yard work and exercise. I love that I am basically forced to turn on the fireplace. I love that I feel no compulsion whatsoever to literally do anything productive except microwave leftover Stouffer’s lasagna and sip hot tea. I especially love that I can legitimately go to bed at 6 p.m., because glorious nightfall has arrived early, and that I can sleep under the heavy blanket because temperatures might dip below freezing!

Fingers crossed!

I don’t even care that the semi-monsoon has short-circuited

half of the house. When you have a fabulous Halloween display that includes an animatronic Pennywise, 2,000 feet of orange twinkle lights and dozens of red and green spots, all wired through 15 different extension cords, some rated “inside use only,” you learn to expect electrical mishaps. Nope, no worries here. I am literally soaking up a beautiful gift of a miserable afternoon and considering moving to Seattle or Dublin.

Don’t get me wrong. I probably couldn’t handle months on end of no warmth or sunshine. Usually, by March I’m ready to auction off my firstborn to buy an airline ticket to anywhere south. But a good, old-fashioned rainy fall day every once in a while? Well, that’s right up my Irish, redheaded, soulless alley.

Peace out.

Editor, I have read the letters by Trump supporters lately, informing us that Mr. Trump has been unfairly treated. One thing we can probably both agree on is that Trump’s character is not a source of pride for either of us. Would you want your son or daughter working closely with Mr. Trump? Would you comfortably enter into a business deal with him?

I’m guessing Democrats and Republicans have much in common.

We care about immigrants, but we believe in rules for immigration. We believe in religious freedom. One thing neither side ever says is, “Trump is forever putting the concerns of our country over his own personal interests.”

My Republican family members who profess to love Jesus should be embarrassed about their current support of Mr. Trump. Republicans refuse to mention that Trump’s personal character is shocking and abhorrent. Gaslight much? I don’t want to hear any well-known Republican comment on any future candidate’s morals ever again.

During the 20 years we’ve worked together, Heidi has left countless messages for me. They sometimes start out with, “Love you,” but then continue with “to quit being so redundant, to get a new proofreader, or to stop calling me before noon.”

No, this message ended with “Love you!”

How long had she felt this way — and how had I missed the cues?

I’ll admit, there were signs that the relationship had taken a turn from professional to personal. We talk endlessly about run-on sentences. Our discussions about dependent clauses are co-dependent. Any time verbs come up, it gets tense, but spacing

issues draw us closer together.

In all our conversations, I swear I never once ended a sentence with a proposition.

Apple’s software often misunderstands, or leaves out words, like this version of my sister’s call last week: “Thanks for your email. I’ll try you again later. I’m with my new boyfriend and I can’t talk until we finish ___.” That blank area was like getting dirty Mad Libs on my cellphone.

When people leave a voicemail using my name “Dick,” the transcription usually says “Jake.” “Hi, Jake, it’s Bob. Want to meet for lunch today?”

Obviously, I’m not Jake, but was that really Bob? It could have been Rob. Or Andrew or Matt. Who knows? I have to listen to the actual audio version, which is what I should have done first, anyway.

I put Heidi’s message on speaker phone so Mary Ellen and I could both hear it: “Hi. Dick, I sent your proofed column back, but I haven’t heard from you. I wanted to make sure you re-

ceived it. Adios!”

Adios!?

Then, I told Heidi how her message was transcribed from “Adios” to “Love you.” She thought that was hysterical.

Now, she ends all our phone conversations with a sarcastic “Love you,” which was funny the first time, but we talk three or four times a day.

Now, when I get a message from my wife and the text translation says, “I love you,” I’m going to listen to the VM immediately to be sure she isn’t divorcing me with an “Adios.”

After each message, Apple asks if its transcription was useful. I responded today: “Dear Apple: No, I hate it. Please discontinue that service.

Love you. Your friend, Jake.

Campaign to recognize local nurses

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com Working an extra hour during daylight saving time is especially tough on the night APPRECIATION shift.

For the seventh year, Western Governor’s University of Indiana, an Indianapolis-based nonprofit online college, is kicking off a campaign to recognize local nurses who will work an extra hour during daylight saving time at 2 a.m. Nov. 3.

The campaign aims to draw attention to the extra work done by nurses time by giving them appreciation kits while also drawing attention to its scholarship program. One of its stops is Riverview Health in Noblesville.

“I was a night shift nurse for 30plus years, and during my days as a WGU student, remarked to former Chancellor Allison Barber how different a night shift nurse’s lifestyle is, everything from sleep, to opportunities for development, to how no schools ever came to my hospital at night to talk to students,” said Mary Lawson Carney, state director of nursing for WGU Indiana. “She decided this was a space where WGU could make a difference. So, within a couple of weeks, I was helping her man a table at my hospital from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Besides the obvious sleep disruption, night shift nurses have traditionally faced barriers to their career progression by not interacting with their leadership regularly, (and)

Appreciation kits are given to more than 2,700 nurses each year during the Night Shift Nurses campaign. (Submitted photo)

not being able to attend traditional brick-and-mortar classroom education without giving up on sleep.”

Delivery of the kits started in 2013, and this year, the kits will reach more than 2,700 nurses at 125 hospitals and health care facilities in the state. Each box contains candy, sleep masks, pens, notepads and information about WGU Indiana’s nursing program.

Melanie Russell, a night shift nurse at Riverview Health, said nurses are always excited to be recognized.

“That is a forgotten group of nurses. They miss out on pitch-ins, food and parties. It is nice to occasionally (receive a) thank you for keeping things going so others can sleep,” she said. “Most of the nursing staff already work 12 1/2-hour shifts. By the time 7 a.m. rolls around, the staff is more than ready to go home. (The campaign) says to them that other people realize their importance and appreciate that they are working during the night.”

“Every year we’ve grown, which I think is a great thing,” said Hindman, president and founder of TBH Creative. “We’ve had nice, steady growth. We’re smart about the clients we take.”

The Carmel resident was a finalist for the 15th Starkey Entrepreneurial Woman Award in 2018. October is National Women’s Small Business Month.

TBH Creative started as a web design and development company in Hindman’s then-Fishers home, building hundreds of websites.

Indianapolis Opera brings auto racing connection to ‘Elixir of Love’

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Indianapolis Opera General Director David Starkey has a question for opera lovers.

MUSIC “Have you ever seen a race car at an opera before?” Starkey said.

He knows the answer likely is no.

“For the first time at Indianapolis Opera, we will connect the international world of opera and motorsports in the same show,” he said.

Starkey has made adaptations to the comic opera “Elixir of Love,” which the Indianapolis Opera will present Nov. 15 to 17 at The Tarkington Veach at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.

A 1909 Maxwell, on loan from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, will make a stage appearance along with IndyCar driver Zach Veach, a Zionsville resident, in the production.

“We have slightly adapted the show to a very particular time and location, which is generally not the construction of the opera that Gaetano Donizetti wrote,” Starkey said.

“It’s traditionally set around the 1860s in an Italian village.”

Inspired by relationships between Indianapolis and Italy, Starkey has set the story in 1910 in Lucca, Italy.

“Lucca is a famous Italian city, where for the Andretti family, opera and motorsports came together,” Starkey said. “The Andrettis moved there as refugees from World War II.” The Andretti family later moved to the United States.

Starkey saw a documentary

1909 Maxwell car will be featured in “Elixir of Love.” (Submitted phto

about the 50th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s 1969 Indianapolis 500 victory. Andretti and his twin brother, Aldo, were introduced to racing through a mechanic shop in Lucca.

“Mario’s father made some extra money by working in the opera house in walk-on roles, and the family would be able to go and see the opera,” Starkey said. “We’re not setting it in the era when the Andrettis were there, which was the ’40s.”

Dulcamara, a con man posing as a pharmacist, is selling a fake love elixir, cheap Bordeaux, to the citizens.

Starkey said the tie to Indiana is the automotive world that was developing in Europe and the U.S. In Indiana, automakers were developing, and the first Indianapolis 500 was in 1911.

Gary Simpson plays Dulcamara.

“He is on the docket to do the role soon at The Met, so he is coming here to try it out,” said Starkey, a Geist resident.

Veach, an Andretti Autosport driver, will play a character named Mario, representing the assistant to Dulcamara. Andretti Autosport is owned by Michael Andretti, Mario’s

son.

“I think Mario (Andretti) was first approached for this role and he had a schedule conflict,” Veach said. “They started looking for other drivers. They called a good friend of mine and he told them about me, and luckily I was available.”

Veach, 24, said he fortunately doesn’t sing or have any lines.

“I’m strictly a walk-on for this,” he said. “I’m completely out of my elements for this. My girlfriend (Katie McConnell) went to school for musical theater, so she is giving me an idea about it. My life has always been about race cars, so this is going to be a new experience.”

Veach has never been to an opera but is glad to be a part of this one.

“For me, Mario has been like a grandfather,” Veach said. “I’ve been with the team since I was about 15 years old. He’s been a big part of my life as far as a figure I look up to. He is connected to this with the area he grew up. For me to be a part of that in my own sense is an honor for myself.”

The performances are at 7:30 p.m.

FHS to stage ‘Our Town’

By Sadie Hunter sadie@youarecurrent.com An upcoming production of “Our Town” at Fishers High School will be the second time Anna THEATER Nickell has directed the play.

Nickell is the school’s new theater director but served as an assistant director of a different production of “Our Town” in 2013 at another high Legg school. Now, she’s taking the lead with assistant director Jordan Nel for the show that will be staged at 7 p.m. Nov. 7, 8 and 9 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 9. “‘Our Town’ is the story of two families at the turn of the last century,” Nickell said. “The play follows two of the children in the families, George and Emily, as they grow and fall in love. It is a story of love and loss. It’s also a story about all of us. It reminds

us of what makes us human, and that what is most important in life is usually pretty simple.”

The cast is made up of 23 FHS students. Another 25 work behind the scenes.

“We really wanted the idea of ‘Our Town’ to be reflective of our town of Fishers. The audience will notice some subtle and notso-subtle references to Fishers throughout the show.”

Ayen Junior Maddie Ayen will play the stage manager role, which essentially is the narrator but also provides the opportunity to play multiple characters.

Junior Emily Legg plays the lead character of Emily Webb.

Blueprint for Improvement: A charming mid-century kitchen Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The wall opposite the window was removed and replaced with a support beam and column — detailed to match the existing trim — to open the space.

2. A generously sized island with seating and storage was added where the wall once stood.

3. The existing hardwood floors were repaired and stained.

4. The overhead soffits were removed; the original windows are now a highlighted design feature.

5. The hardware selected for the glass front cabinets is true to the kitchen’s mid-century roots.

THE CHALLENGE Built in 1955, this Meridian-Kessler bungalow was in need of some big changes. The new homeowners wanted to remove the walls separating the kitchen, dining and living rooms to create an open floorplan. They also wanted to update the kitchen with a focus on retaining the original charm of the home.

Use magic verbs Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt

Jerónimos Monastery in Belém area of Lisbon. (Photo by Don Knebel)

A history of Jerónimos Commentary by Don Knebel Belém, named for Bethlehem, is an area of southwest Lisbon along the Tagus River. By the 15th TRAVEL century, sailors were leaving from the Belém port to explore the western coast of Africa and beyond. The Order of Christ provided assistance for arriving and departing sailors. In about 1460, Henry the Navigator built the Church of St. Mary of Belém near the port. In 1496, Portuguese King Manuel I petitioned the pope to convert the deteriorating church into a monastery, where monks of the Order of St. Jerome could pray for his eternal soul and provide spiritual assistance to the explorers who were traveling further and further toward Asia. In 1498, Vasco de Gama reached India, the first European to reach Asia entirely by sea.

Portugal soon established a lucrative sea trade with Africa and the Orient, bringing enormous wealth to Portugal. As a result, King Manuel greatly expanded his vision of the

Jerónimos Monastery, employing architects to design a massive complex in the ornate style that eventually became known as “Manueline.” Construction of the monastery began Jan. 6, 1501, financed with a 5 percent tax on goods arriving at the Belém port from Africa and Asia. When completed about 100 years later, the monastery had become one of the most important buildings in Portugal and the burial place of Portuguese royalty.

The Jerónimos Monastery survived the 1755 earthquake that destroyed much of Lisbon, but was secularized by government decree in 1833 and is now operated by a private charitable organization. In 1983, the Jerónimos Monastery and the nearby Tower of Belém were named UNESCO World Heritage sites and are now the two most visited sites in Lisbon.

Your résumé (or curriculum vitae, if you speak Latin) can be like a key that unlocks GRAMMAR GUY the door to an interview for your dream job. You don’t have to have a funky design. Instead, drop in some well-placed success verbs.

According to corporate success guru Marc Cenedella, action words aren’t enough. Instead, he suggests, use what Cenedella calls “success verbs” to strengthen your résumé.

When listing your work history accomplishments, use bullet points.

Follow each bullet point with an energetic verb that packs a powerful punch. After each success verb, add a specific numerical value for your career accomplishment.

First, let’s focus on some tired, weak verbs most of us have on our résumés. Words like “managed,” “led,” “established” and “performed” are boring and overused. Just be-

cause you did these things doesn’t mean you were any good at them.

Let’s shift our focus to the magical words that can help get you hired. Cenedella lists 25 specific, compelling verbs: accelerated, achieved, added, awarded, changed, contributed, decreased, delivered, eliminated, exceeded, expanded, gained, generated, grew, improved, increased, introduced, maximized, minimized, optimized, produced, reduced, saved, sold and streamlined. These verbs possess vigor and translate to bottom-line organizational impact.

Now, all you have to do is follow these verbs with a measurable statistic that will impress the socks off your potential employer.
