A TOUR If you have aloved one with significant memory impairment or dementia, time is of the essence to get them proper care. Delays may impact their quality of life and risk their safety, health, and overall wellbeing, and could even lead to more serious medical issues. People with memory impairment are more likely to get lost or have an acci- dent, and are often unable to properly care for themselves. Emotionally,it’sdifficult to accept that aloved one is experiencing significant memory impairment or dementia. Perhaps even more challenging is realizing that the care they need exceeds the family’s abilities and may require moving into a memory care facility.

Stiff challenges in Week 1 Lecanto, Seven Rivers start season at home Chris Bernhardt Jr. Staff writer
Easing into the regular season? Not so much for Citrus County prep football teams. The 2021 season officially gets underway with two local squads facing Sumter County powerhouses and two others taking on fa- miliar conference foes. Just a few miles apart, Lecanto and Seven Rivers Christian will both get to start things up in their home stadiums, while Citrus and Crystal River make fairly short trips. The Villages at Lecanto, 7 p.m. The Villages is the fastest growing metro area in the country according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and likewise its high school football team has grown into a regular post- season participant. Last year the Buffaloes went 6-0 in the regular season before running into even- tual state runner-up Bolles in the Class 4A regional playoffs. In fact, over the past three seasons The Villages has a combined regular-season record of 24-2. “It’s a real tough matchup,” Lecanto head coach Wyndell “Chop” Alexander said. “It’s good to start the season like that to see where we’re at. “It’ll be a very talented team. Well- coached by Coach (Richard) Pettus. They’ve got a really good running back, good wide receivers, a good offensive line, a defense that gets after the football.” A season ago the Buffaloes ran for 1,509 yards and 25 touchdowns compared to 674 yards and nine touchdowns through the air. But from Alexander’s scouting he’s seen an opponent that wants to throw the ball 70% of the time and one that “seems to have acquired more talent.” “They’ve got a lot of speed at a lot of key positions. We’ve got to keep the ball in front of us on defense,” Alexander said. “We need to block and tackle. We can’t make mistakes, we have to line up correctly offen- sively and finish our blocks. We can’t make mistakes and we have to capitalize on their mistakes. We’ve got to play with confidence.” Trying to build off a 4-3 season in 2020, the Panthers are hoping to prove they can stay competitive in the area. They’ve al- ready faced a reigning state semifinalist in Dunnellon, falling 47-6 in last Friday’s fall classic.
