officials considered changing the shift schedule to reduce potential exposure but decided against the idea.

“Most of our stations have separate bedrooms. We looked at going to 12-hour shifts so they wouldn’t have to sleep there,” Brainard said. “We’ve chosen not to do that for the time being.”

The city is also considering putting two backup ambulances it already owns into service. Brainard said it would be a “substantial financial burden” to staff the additional ambulances but expects the city would eventually be reimbursed by the federal government.

Brainard said most civilian duties are being handled by employees working at home. Only one counter at the police station is open to the public, and paperwork is not being passed through it.

Most non-essential public services, such as fingerprinting, are not being offered during the outbreak.

Food pantries need donations, volunteers

By Emma Uber news@currentincarmel.com As the new coronavirus shutters business and schools nationwide, Carmel food pantries remain open to PANDEMIC meet the increased needs of the community.

Merciful Help Center Executive Director Jayne Slaton said food pantries have experienced a significant increase in demand because of the financial impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on many families.

“We’re having people come (to the Merciful Help Center) who are not characteristically in need, with all the servers and all these people being laid off,” Slaton said.

“They are not able to make their rent, so food will become substantially more important.”

Slaton is determined to serve every family that relies on the Merciful Help Center. “(Coronavirus) is affecting us a great deal. We’re very busy. We’re not saying no to anybody. We’re letting everybody come through because if you need the help, we’re willing to give it,” Slaton said.

To meet the unprecedented demand, food pantries are counting on monetary or food donations more than ever.

“We really need food donations. We are also partners with Gleaners Food Bank, and one dollar at the grocery store is equal to 10 cents cost at Gleaner’s, meaning we can get so much more at Gleaners,” Slaton said. “Cash donations help us a lot.”

Natalie Oehler, co-director of the food pantry at Carmel United Methodist Church, said although the circumstances are more demanding, the mission of the food pantry remains the same.

“We are here to help our neighbors,” Oehler said. “Hunger is a scary thing, especially with this shutdown.”

Just as the community depends on charitable organizations in times of crisis, charities rely on community contributions.

“People have really stepped up. I am so thoroughly impressed with this community. I already knew it was a beautiful community to live in because I’ve been doing this for 31 years, but this is so far above and beyond,” Slaton said.

Hotel opening delayed

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com With the new coronavirus pandemic leading to a virtual halt of travel, Carmel is preparing to delay the opening PANDEMIC of Hotel Carmichael.

The 122-room boutique hotel was set to open in May, but Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard said that won’t happen.

“People aren’t going to be traveling,” Brainard said March 16. “We’re going to delay opening so we don’t have staff expense.”

Carmel Redevelopment Commission Director Henry Mestetsky said his team will follow recommendations of hotel management and consultants to determine the optimum opening time.

“It won’t be in May, but we have to track this on a monthly basis and provide updates,” Mestetsky said.

Ten management employees have been hired for the hotel in roles that needed to be filled before the opening. Other employees have not yet been hired, and those hirings will be put on hold for now, Brainard said.

Mestetsky said hotel construction remains on schedule with completion likely in mid-May. The hotel, a public/private partnership between Carmel and developer Pedcor, came under scrutiny in February after the city issued a press release announcing the project would cost $58.5 million, approximately 46 percent more than originally estimated in 2017.

The Carmel City Council set three special committee meetings to investigate the cost increase, originally scheduled for March 18, 25 and April 1. Those meetings have been postponed indefinitely.

With interest rates dropping in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Mestetsky said the hotel will save approximately $573,000 per year in interest payments. He said the CRC negotiated a variable rate interest on the loans rather than a more traditional fixed rate used in most hotel deals.

The global pandemic also has led to a date change for the International Making Cities Livable Conference, which was set to make its Midwest debut June 2 to 6 at the Center for the Performing Arts.

Brainard said the event could be delayed until August or rescheduled for 2021.

“It’s definitely coming to Carmel,” he said.

Local podcast club launches

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com The club’s name doesn’t exactly fit.

The Indianapolis Podcast Brunch Club typically PROFILE meets the last Thursday of every month from 6 p.m to 7:30 p.m., although the March meeting has been canceled because of the new coronavirus outbreak.

Ealy “(The name) predates me,” said Susan Miller, the chapter leader who started the Indianapolis club in January. “I would have called it the Cocktail Hour Club. It was started by a woman in Chicago five years ago and is akin to a book club for podcasts.”

Miller, who lives near Anderson, is the public relations director for 5MetaCom, a Carmel business-to-business marketing company for technical and scientific products.

There are two to five hours of listening lists for the theme of the month.

The January topic was fake news while February’s was nuclear energy and the coro-

navirus. There are more than 70 chapters worldwide.

Carmel resident Jeff Ealy, a 2006 Carmel High School graduate who is 5MetaCom vice president of marketing services, began listening to more podcasts in the past year.

“I was getting bored listening to the same couple of tunes on the radio and was looking for something more entertaining,” Ealy said.

Ealy said he often listens Miller to a 10- to 12-minute story.

Podcasts are a part of what 5MetaCom helps produces for its clients for approximately 18 months.

“It’s not exactly the sexy serial story but it’s going deep on a tightly niche subject,” Miller said.

Ealy said the company works behind the scenes to produce the podcasts.

“We produce the conversation guide for the program we are going to put together,” he said. “Our customers are the authorities on the subject.”

Families scramble to find child care, start eLearning amid coronavirus pandemic

By Ann Marie Shambaugh AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Life as a single mother living apart from family already had its challenges for Rachel Mould.

Then the coronavirus pandemic hit.

COVER STORY Now, Mould, a nurse at IU Health, is among many other parents scrambling to find child care and figure out how to keep up with virtual learning for her two children.

“I’m not the typical Carmel parent. I don’t have family around. I don’t have anyone else to rely on except for new relationships that I’ve created in my community,” said Mould, whose two children are in third and fifth grade at Prairie Trace Elementary.

SCHOOL CLOSURES EXTENDED

By Jarred Meeks jarred@youarecurrent.com In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, Gov. Eric Holcomb announced March 19 that all Indiana schools will be closed until at least May 1 and that all student assessments for the academic year have been canceled.

Holcomb said during a press conference that the state is looking at 30-, 60- and 90-day increments to assess school closures and will reassess whether schools should reopen closer to May 1. However, he said the idea of students returning to schools this academic year would be “a miracle.”

Holcomb also announced state student assessments, including the ISTEP10 and ILEARN assessments, would be canceled.

Some schools will continue to provide education services through eLearning, but not all schools have the capability, and not all students have home access to take advantage of it if it’s offered.

ESSAY

LETTER

Speak clearly

Please trust climatologists

Commentary by Terry Anker “It is not like we’re not trying to make sure that bad stuff doesn’t happen by not doing things that we used to do.”

Hmm. We’re not sure what is not meant to happen ... or to happen ... or to not, not happen. It is all so confusing. In a time where clarity of communication is most important, why are so many continuing to cloud the air with doublespeak, jargon and insider lingo?

The negative, especially the double negative, is, well, doubly troubling in doubly troubling conditions. What do we need to do? What is the standard?

When do we need to do it? The truth of the matter, whatever the “truth” may be – and whatever the “matter” may be, for that matter – is too often intentionally construed to prevent good-intentioned folks from understanding what the heck is going on.

Not intended to attack him, as many others will likely follow, but if the mayor of New York City is calling for “required shelter in place,” what is he saying?

Would it be better to say martial law?

Would we understand that expression any better or worse? Are they the same?

How are they different? Could they mean the Marshall Law? Noted 19th-century British economist Alfred Marshall said, “There are no economic tendencies which act as steadily and can be measured as exactly as gravitation can, and consequently, there are no laws of economics which can be compared for precision with the law of gravitation.”

What? It is probably not this one.

A speaker’s desire to manipulate an audience with a convolution of language risks considerable misunderstanding by the listener. Perhaps, that it is the intention. Anyone attempting to sell anything to anybody is prone to play the word game. Should we accept it as unavoidable or demand clarity?

Addressing viral elephant in the room Commentary by Danielle Wilson Hmm. What to talk about this week? The aftermath of the convergence of Friday the 13th with my hormonal fluctuHUMOR ations three days after a full moon? The return of two-thirds of my college kids for spring break that has already necessitated multiple Meijer runs and ear plugs? Bore-ing! But if not the mundane, upon what else could I possibly pontificate?

Should I just acknowledge the morbidly obese elephant in the room and be done?

Coronavirus. There, I said it. But part of my self-care plan is to limit exposure to conversations surrounding the pandemic, which in my humble-yet-superior opinion is fueling unnecessary anxiety. I understand and completely support the closing of schools and cancellation of events (though I am suffering from acute March Sadness), but I cannot wrap my head around the ensuing mass hysteria. And I can’t avoid it, either.

To wit, I was at the grocery stocking up

on milk and toilet paper – for the aforementioned invasion of my coed-locusts, not for the mandated lockdown of society – when I happened to pass a store employee carrying an empty Charmin box. I’d heard rumors of a TP shortage, so I turned down the aisle to grab a few rolls. Coming from the other direction was a guy also seemingly intent on scoring an eight-pack. There was one left. Ah, hell, no. I sprinted down that aisle like I was in the last few moments of the Olympic 100-meter dash. I actually hurdled a discarded Bounty paper towel bundle. And for what? Some toilet paper? CV doesn’t even cause diarrhea!

No thanks. I’m sticking with the boring hormones and parenting woes. Peace out.

Editor, A recently published letter stated climate change is real. Of course, climate change is real. No, it’s not a myth that an extreme majority of climatologists believe climate change is real and caused solely by humans.

We owe many improvements to our lives to scientists. The questioning of these experts is absurd. Imagine if other professionals were treated like this such as denying the diagnosis of your doctor, even multiple doctors or distrusting computer technicians on their assessment of the problems with your computer. Even today, during the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming the epidemiologists and virologists do not know what they are talking about would be ridiculous and extremely dangerous.

Climatologists are not out here to make money or trick you. They are here to objectively study climate change.

And they say it is objectively real, dangerous and urgent. And we must trust them.

Ethan Stoehr, Carmel High School student

Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Most cable systems have a feature called Video Description. A narrator describes what is going on during scenes, allowing the visually impaired to fully HUMOR enjoy the show. For example, if you are watching a cop show, you might hear: Narrator: “Sgt. Voight removes the gun from his holster and places it on the desk.”

The other day I hit the wrong button and accidentally enabled the Video Description feature. We tried everything, but we couldn’t turn it off. Eventually, we just closed our eyes. That was way simpler than Googling: How do I silence the guy who keeps telling us what is happening in the scene when we can see it ourselves?

I wonder what a Video Description would be like if someone narrated a day in the lives of the Wolfsies. It would start with breakfast.

“Dick, would you like some fresh-pressed carrot and spinach juice?”

“Sure. Thanks!”

Narrator: “While Mary Ellen moves to the other side of the kitchen to feed the cat, Dick pours the green liquid down the drain, then smiles, holding up the empty glass and pretending he drank it in one gulp.”

Later in the car: “Dick, this is our exit coming up.”

“Oh! Thank you, Mary Ellen. Or should I call you Siri?”

Narrator: “Mary Ellen glances out the passenger window. Dick shakes his head, annoyed that Mary Ellen thought he couldn’t

find their own neighborhood.”

At dinner: “Dick, please sit closer to the table. I don’t want any spaghetti sauce to spill on our new carpet.”

“Don’t worry, I’m very careful when I eat.”

Narrator: “Mary Ellen begins to talk to their son, Brett. Dick notices that some marinara sauce landed on the floor. Mary Ellen sees Dick stealing a glance at the mess.

Dick bends down to blot the red stain. Mary Ellen points to the floor and mouths the words, ‘Look, he did it again,’ to Brett.”

The next morning: “Mary Ellen, I can’t find my cellphone.”

“Sometimes you leave it in your robe pocket. Did you look there?”

“Of course, that’s the first place I looked.”

Narrator: “Mary Ellen goes to front door to get the newspaper. Dick runs into the bathroom and finds his phone in his robe pocket, then runs back to the living room and sticks the phone between the couch cushions.

Mary Ellen returns.”

“Hey, guess what. I found it here in the couch.”

Narrator: “Mary Ellen turns away and rolls her eyes. The camera follows Dick to the basement where he sits at his computer and begins his column for this week, all about Video Descriptions.”

Sunglasses: Not just a fashion statement Commentary by Dr. Jeremy Ciano We all know about the importance of wearing sunscreen to protect our skin from harmful UV rays, but so often VISION our eyes are forgotten when it comes to preventing UV damage. Just like our skin, our eyes need yearround protection.

There are three types of UV rays. Fortunately, the most dangerous type, UV-C, gets filtered out by the ozone and does not pose a threat to our vision. UV-A rays are longer wavelength and penetrate to the back of the eye, called the retina, which can ultimately contribute to macular degeneration. UV-B rays are shorter wavelength and dangerous to the clear outer layer of our eyes, called the cornea. Excess exposure to UV-B rays can lead to photokeratitis, like a “sunburn” of the eye, resulting in substantial irritation, watering, light sensitivity and redness.

Other long-term ocular effects of chronic UV exposure include growths on the con-

DISPATCHES

junctiva (the white portion of our eyes), cataracts and even forms of eyelid and conjunctival cancer.

If you’re wondering how to protect your eyes from this potential damage, look no further than a good quality pair of sunglasses. To provide adequate protection, sunglasses should block 99 to 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B radiation. Keep in mind that UV protection is not directly correlated to the sunglass tint, so darker does not always mean better. In addition, the sunglass frame should sit close to your eyes and contour to the shape of your face to block as many UV rays as possible.

Sunglasses are more than a fashion choice. They are essential to keeping our eyes protected and healthy.

Restaurant owners ‘disappointed’ by governor’s decision

By Ann Marie Shambaugh and Mark Ambrogi AnnMarie@youarecurrent.com Gov. Eric Holcomb ordered restaurants to stop offering dine-in service March 17 through at least the end of the month to help prevent the spread of the PANDEMIC new coronavirus, leaving Carmel restaurant owners scrambling to figure out how to adapt.

Jeremiah Hamman, owner of Prodigy Burger Bar and Prime 47 steakhouse, doesn’t agree with the governor’s decision.

He said he believes social distancing can be safely practiced at restaurants with a few modifications.

Hamman “Allow the restaurants to space out tables, use their best judgment, operate at 50 percent capacity instead of 100 percent. Allow them to stay open and serve, providing they are meeting certain requirements,” said Hamman, who plans to institute carry-out and delivery service at his restaurants. “How can (the governor) decide all bars and restaurants must shut down, but grocery stores are open and you are going to have thousands of people in your store at the same time? I think it’s a terrible decision.”

His biggest concern, however, is for his employees. He plans to pay them during the restrictions but knows not

every restaurant owner will be able to do that.

“I wish (Holcomb) would consider what he has done to the service industry employees,” Hamman said. “We’re blessed and fortunate and in a situation where we are going to figure out a way to pay ours. There are a lot of places that aren’t. I’m really concerned for the economy and what is going to happen to them.”

Kevin “Woody” Rider, owner of divvy and Woody’s Library Restaurant, has not implemented carry-out or delivery service. He said it would end up costing him more than temporarily shutting his restaurants’ doors.

He also said he is disappointed in the governor’s decision.

“Why just the restaurant business?” said Rider, whose restaurants employ 95 people. “I think being at a grocery store Rider or being at (a home improvement store) is more dangerous to the spread of this thing than sitting at a table in a restaurant.”

Rider, who is a member of the Carmel City Council, has been in touch with legislators asking them to remove a state-mandated waiting period for receiving unemployment benefits.

“They should be allowed to file and get it, because this (restriction) could be two weeks or this could be two months,” Rider said during the March 16 council meeting.

“They’re not telling us how long it’s going to be.”

Don Main, owner of Puccini’s Pizza & Pasta, already offered delivery through DoorDash and is planning to add inhouse delivery drivers. He also plans to add curbside pickup service.

“Of course, normal carry-out is welcome, and while we will still be maintaining enhanced disinfectant procedures, we sure do like to see our customers,” he said.

IRLA SEEKS RELIEF The Indiana Restaurant and Lodging Association is asking the state government for relief to help people in the hospitality industry manage the pandemic.

It is asking government officials: - To waive the waiting period for unemployment benefits and the condition of the work-search requirement - To allow employees to take leave through the Family and Medical Leave Act if ordered or recommended to quarantine - For a 12-month deferral of real and personal property taxes interest free beginning April 1 - For protections against stockpiling and price gouging - For electric, gas and water companies to be barred from disconnecting services during the emergency - To enact an eviction moratorium for residences and businesses for those impacted by a COVID-19 shutdown Learn more at inrla.org.

Coronavirus pandemic forces theater groups to face difficulties

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com If there has been a constant theme in the announcements of cancellations and postponements of theater productions and concerts due to POSTPONEMENTS the coronavirus pandemic, it is that it will create hardship for the arts world.

Local theater groups are offering refunds for shows that have been postponed or canceled, although they would appreciate it if refunds could be a donation to the organization.

Center for the Performing Arts The Center for Performing Arts suspended performances for a month when Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb first announced COVID-19 guidelines of restricting gatherings to no more than 250 people March 13. When Holcomb amended that to no more than 50 people March 16, the Center extended the suspension of all performances and other events at its venues through May 11.

President Donald Trump announced March 16 a federal guideline that limits gatherings to no more than 10 people.

The affected venues include the Palladium, The Tarkington and the Studio Theater.

The cancellations include performances by Actors Theatre of Indiana, Carmel Symphony Orchestra, Central Indiana Dance Ensemble, Civic Theatre, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and the Indiana Wind Symphony as well as education events, rental events and Center Presents performances.

That includes Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s performance of “Exodus” set for April 3-5 and Carmel Symphony Orchestra’s March 14 and April 18 concerts.

“We regret the circumstances that brought us to this point, but clearly there is no other responsible decision to make for the welfare of our patrons, employees and the community,” stated Jeff C. McDermott, president/CEO of the Center for the Performing Arts and the Great American Songbook Foundation.

All ticket holders will be contacted and provided refunds or the option to donate the purchase amount to the presenting organization to help defray costs associated

with the cancellations. The Center will work to reschedule the canceled events as feasible, according to a press release.

The Center will continue to follow the guidance of public safety officials and will reassess the suspension as needed.

Offices will remain in operation during standard business hours. The box office and the Great American Songbook Exhibit Gallery at the Palladium will be closed to the public through May 11, but ticket sales for events not affected by the suspension will continue online at thecenterpresents.org or by phone at 317-843-3800.

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre officials have announced the remaining performances of “Saturday Night Fever” and the upcoming scheduled production of “An American in Paris” have been canceled.

“Saturday Night Fever” was scheduled to run through March 29 and “An American in Paris” was scheduled to start April 2. Ticket holders for those shows will be contacted

by Beef & Boards box office staff with op-

tions available to them.

At this time, Beef & Boards plans to reopen with the opening of “The Sound of Music” as scheduled May 14.

For more, beefandboards.com Civic Theatre Civic Theatre had to postpone “A Few Good Men” March 13, the day the show was supposed to open at the Studio Theater. The restrictions also forced Civic to shut down “Matilda The Musical,” which was set to open April 24. It is uncertain when or if the shows will be rescheduled.

In the meantime, all ticket holders will be contacted and provided refunds or the option to donate the purchase amount to Civic Theatre to help defray costs associated with the cancellations.

“The magic of live theatre is fundamental to our patrons, volunteers and staff. We are heartbroken at the postponement of ‘A Few Good Men’ and ‘Matilda the Musical,’’ Civic Theatre Executive Artistic Director Michael Lasley stated.

For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Actors Theatre of Indiana ATI has postponed “Damn Yankees,” which was scheduled to open April 24, and the May 5 ATI Theatre Lab reading of “Provenance.”

ATI co-founder Don Farrell said the plan is to move both into the 2020-2021 season.

“The decision to delay programming places an incredible financial strain on ATI,” Farrell said in a note to supporters. “Please consider making a donation today so that when this crisis ends - and it will - Actors Theatre of Indiana will still be right here waiting for you with open arms, ready to reflect all the best parts of our shared humanity.”

Korave Korean BBQ Go-Chu Pork is a Korean spicy pork rice bowl.

(Photo by Anna Skinner)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 9713 District North Dr. Suite 1210, Fishers What to get: Go-Chu Pork (Korean spicy pork rice bowl) Price: $11 Anna’s take: Korave Korean BBQ is one of three startups housed in Fishers Test Kitchen. Rice bowl can be ordered with pork, beef ($12), chicken ($10) or seared tofu ($11). It’s a hefty serving of meat with white or purple rice or noodles for an extra $1.50. The meat and a colorful array of carrots, cabbage and

lettuce overflow in a large bowl. It’s a great serving size with a wonderful taste I haven’t experienced before. Another popular item is Bul-Go-Ki Poutine (Korean BBQ beef and fries, $11). Korave is closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, but keep up to date on its social media platforms for a reopen date. What better way to spice up your return to society than with Korean BBQ? Suggested pairings: Pair with a Sun King Brewery Pachangarita, an icy mix of Pachanga beer and tequila.

Behind bars: The Dark Delilah Get it at Jan’s Village Pizza, Westfield Ingredients: • 1 scoop chocolate ice cream • 4 oz. merlot • Whipped cream • Chocolate syrup • Maraschino cherry Directions: Add ice cream to a chocolate syrup coated glass, then pour merlot, add whipped cream, a chocolate syrup drizzle and top with a maraschino cherry.

Test kitchen: Meet the chefs

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Jung Gyu Kim, known as Chef John, and his brother Jung Min Kim, known as Chef Kim, recently opened RESTAURANTS Korave Korean BBQ, their Korean barbeque concept, in Fishers Test Kitchen.

Korave Korean BBQ is one of three restaurants in Fishers Test Kitchen, 9713 District North Dr., Suite 1210, which is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Kims are from South Korea. Upon moving to the United States, they first settled in Utah and attended culinary school at Salt Lake Community College.

They operated a sushi franchise, Union Sushi, then launched a food truck in Utah in 2017 and moved to Fishers last year.

“When we bought a house, the Realtor told us about the Fishers Test Kitchen, so I’m like, ‘Oh, really? I’ll just apply for it,’” Jung Gyu Kim said. “We got interviewed and did a tasting and that’s how we got into here.”

The Kims’ goal is to launch a franchise of fast-casual Korean restaurants. Main menu items are rice bowls with Korean

BBQ and tacos.

Because Korean BBQ can be pricey, the Kims’ objective is to offer quality Korean BBQ at reasonable prices.

“We want to offer people something they can enjoy – good Korean food with cheaper pricing,” Jung Gyu Kim said. “We want to keep the authentic flavor but lower the cost. Why are there no Korean fast-casual restaurants? Most Korean restaurant owners are elderly people and they are stubborn and keep the traditional way (of operating restaurants).”

Blueprint for Improvement: Efficient mudroom in Westfield Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The closet was eliminated in exchange for open shelves and cubbies for each member of the family. The incorporated bench provides more seating than the previous version.

2. Each top cubby has an integrated USB charging port so family members can charge their devices as soon as they get home.

3. Cabinetry above the cubbies and a built-in dresser with granite countertop provides ample concealed storage for a variety of household items that need to be quickly accessible.

4. Slate tile laid in a herringbone pattern connects the new mudroom with the adjoining laundry room.

THE CHALLENGE This Westfield home was built in 2010 in the Long Ridge Estates neighborhood. Previously, the mudroom entry through the garage offered a small bench and a coat closet, with the laundry room just beyond.

It wasn’t an efficient use of space for this family of four, who wanted a more open and accessible place to store coats, backpacks and other essentials.

English Language” was Webster’s first comprehensive dictionary. It established many of the spelling differences between British and American English, although many other simplifications (like “tung” instead of “tongue” and “soop” instead of “soup”) didn’t catch on.

Mr. Webster’s spelling proposals aimed to weed out pointless letters, making words easier to spell. This included slashing an “L” from words with double “L’s,” including “canceled,” “traveled,” “counselor,” “jewelry,” and “equaled.” Webster’s influence led to new standard American spellings, as the double “L” words are still standard British spellings. Lately, I’ve seen quite a few events being “cancelled,” while the users should be using the one “L” version, “canceled.”
