McMillan SUPER SENIOR! Blasts Kincannon By Focus Staff Mike McMillan, East Knox County’s member of the Board of Education, is mad. McMillan has gone well beyond annoyed at the action of City of Knox- ville Mayor Indya Kincannon withdrawing from the Memo- randum of Agreement (MOA) with the Knox County School system. Presently, the Knox- ville Police Department has 16 officers who work on school campuses; Kincannon’s deci- sion means the KPD officers will no longer be in city schools, or any schools. When angry calls began flooding the may- or’s office, staffers referred call- ers back to the Board of Educa- tion. Mike McMillan is currently the longest serving member of the Board and has been out- spoken on behalf of the people he represents.

How to Combat Social Isolation

FAMILY FEATURES ven before COVID-19 limited social contact with friends, family and colleagues, many adults experienced loneliness and depression due to limited contact with others. Now, a year after the pandemic forced many people into even greater Elevels of isolation, the issue of social isolation is especially prevalent in Americans over the age of 50. Despite the physical implications of a global pandemic, research shows the mental health stakes are high, too. A nationwide survey, commissioned by Barclays, found that half of Americans over the age of 50 said the isolation from their friends and family has been more challenging than concerns over health risks they may face. Social isolation has provided plenty of time for Americans to reflect on their priorities. The majority of Americans surveyed (90%) have re-evaluated their post age-50 goals and put spending more time with family at the top of their lists. In fact, the most common first thing 50-plus Americans will do once COVID-19 is over is to see and spend time with their families (41%). “While restrictions are beginning to ease, many older adults are still isolated from friends and family, and that takes a toll on their mental well-being” said Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of the AARP Foundation. “We must do all we can to help older adults, who have suffered greatly during COVID-19, strengthen the social connections that are so essential to their ability to lead longer, healthier lives.” For example, AARP Foundation’s Connect2Affect platform equips older adults with the tools they need to stay physically and mentally healthy and connected to their communities. The AARP Essential Rewards Mastercard from Barclays is helping fund the foundation’s work to increase social connection with donations based on new accounts and eligible purchases, up to $1 million annually. A little creativity and a commitment to filling time productively can help reduce the strain of being alone until it’s safer to resume social activities.
