The Inaugural Tunnels to Towers 5K is scheduled for 8 a.m. in Palm Coast’s Central park in Town center. The event is part of the Tunnels to Towers Foundation project, which, according to its website, “is helping America’s heroes by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building custom-designed smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. We are also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and aiding the victims of major U.S. disasters.”

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.

Notably: It was on this day in 1804 that the Lewis and Clark expedition set out from St. Louis to survey the newly acquired territory of Louisiana, bought for pennies from a fumbling Napoleon (and, it should be said, unconstitutionally, but no one was going to object). “The Louisiana Purchase was one of the most important events in world history,” the great historian Bernard DeVoto writes in his introduction to his edition of the journals of Lewis and Clark. “It was an event of such magnitude that, as Henry Adams said, Its results are beyond measurement. Not only did it double the area of the United States, not only did it add to our wealth resources of incalculable value, not only did it provide a potential that was certain to make us a great power, not only did it make equally certain that we would expand beyond the Rockies to the Pacific, and not only did it secure us against foreign victory on any scale conceivable in the nineteenth century – it also provided the centripetal, unifying force that would hold the nation firm against disruptive forces from within. Whether or not the rebellion that became the Civil War was inevitable, the Purchase had made certain that it could not succeed. And there is no aspect of our national life, no part of our social and political structure, and no subsequent event in the main course of our history that it has not affected.”

I was lucky enough to see the manuscript journals in person during a reporting visit at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, where the journals are permanently held:
