OUR OPINION Sunshine Week helps freedom stand strong reedom is under attack constantly and from all angles. A free society is a strong and powerful, liv- Fing, breathing thing, but at times an uncomfortable wrestling match between the watchdogs and all levels of government must take place. We cherish the role of both community watchdog and community cheerleader. At this newspaper, we approach government accountability as a part of our daily mission. “Accountability” does not necessarily mean wrongdoing, it simply equates to transparency among organizations that collect and spend the people’s tax money. Most days, everything moves appropriately; other times, strange things occur and public officials sometimes run afoul. There’s no emotion to it. It’s just news and it gets reported. Today kicks off Sunshine Week 2021, a seven-day period where all states in America focus on free speech, public records and public notices as they are made available at every level of government. The public notic- es and the paper trails of public records reveal often what the talk from politicians often omit — certainly the spin and sometimes the facts. Sunshine Week always falls during the week with March 16 included, which is the birthday of founding father James Madison, the fourth President of the United States. Madison penned the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. Honoring our veterans Free speech, a free press, freedom of religious choice, among others, all come from the First Amendment in these Bill of Rights and we grow in Free press vital to democracy American strength in the details of the other nine amendments that follow.

Columbia had a few chances to do just that but just couldn’t string togeth- er enough timely hits aside from the sixth inning. That frame saw Hailey Bowmer hit a pinch-hit, two-RBI double to tie the game at 3-3 to force extras. But the Lady Tigers left the bases loaded in the fourth and fifth innings, and they also had chances to win the game with a runner in scoring position in the seventh and the bags full again in the eighth. Each time though, GHS pitcher Kyra Hornsby found a way to escape danger.

Zoryana Hughes also went the distance in the cir- cle for Columbia, giving up two earned runs on seven hits, five walks and one hit batter. The sophomore also scored the game’s first run when she reached home on a GHS error to put the Lady Tigers up 1-0 early. But the Lady Hurricanes took a 2-1 lead in the fourth. After Woodard singled and Parris Wiggs walked, Woodard stole sec- ond and third on the same play and then scored on an errant throw to third base. That then led to an RBI single by Brianna Biggs. “We can’t do that. We’ve got to clean that up. That’s on us,” Andrews said. “But those are the learning things we can clean up and learn from.” Gainesville then extended the lead to 3-1 when Wiggs stole home in the sixth. But after Bowmer gave Columbia new life in the bottom half of the inning, Hughes kept her team in the game by escaping the seventh and eighth with a runner on second before pitching a perfect ninth. She just couldn’t get her offense to deliver one more run when she need- ed it most. “She battled,” Andrews said of Hughes. “She didn’t get upset with her team.
