Organ Donations Decline as<br />
Need Increases<br />
More than 100,000<br />
people need life-saving<br />
organ transplants in<br />
the United States, and<br />
an additional million<br />
need life-saving and<br />
life-improving tissues,<br />
eyes, and corneas.<br />
Yet every day, an<br />
average of 18 people<br />
die because there are<br />
not enough organ<br />
donations to meet the<br />
need, according to the<br />
Organ Procurement<br />
and Transplantation<br />
Network. The seriousness<br />
of the lack of<br />
organ donations has<br />
been highlighted in a<br />
new study conducted<br />
by investigators at<br />
Cedars-Sinai Medical<br />
Center.<br />
Members of the<br />
research team, found<br />
that the number of living<br />
donors increased<br />
yearly from 1999 to<br />
2004, but has been declining<br />
since then. Although<br />
the number of<br />
HealtHY liFeStYleS<br />
organ donations from<br />
deceased individuals<br />
risen each year between<br />
1999 and 2007,<br />
the increase was not<br />
sufficient to offset the<br />
decline in living donor<br />
donations.<br />
The fact that<br />
transplantation of<br />
solid organs is now so<br />
successful has actually<br />
made getting an organ<br />
more difficult. “Improved<br />
survival rates<br />
and the expectation<br />
that organ replacement<br />
will enhance<br />
quality of life have<br />
encouraged more doctors<br />
and their patients<br />
with organ failure to<br />
opt <strong>for</strong> transplantation,”<br />
explains Klein.<br />
Recently, Apple<br />
CEO Steve Jobs,<br />
who had a life-saving<br />
liver transplant last<br />
year, joined <strong>for</strong>ces<br />
with governor Arnold<br />
Schwarzenegger to<br />
help push through<br />
new legislation in<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia to expand<br />
the number of organ<br />
donors in that state.<br />
Convincing individuals<br />
to be an organ<br />
donor is a challenge.<br />
Although about 90<br />
percent of Americans<br />
say they support<br />
organ donation, only<br />
30 percent know the<br />
steps that need to be<br />
taken to become a<br />
donor. Several factors<br />
contribute to the public’s<br />
lack of awareness<br />
of the issue and to<br />
organ shortage itself,<br />
as the Cedars-Sinai<br />
researchers note.<br />
Some of those factors<br />
include disincentives<br />
<strong>for</strong> living organ<br />
donors (e.g., loss of<br />
income while taking<br />
off work, transplantrelated<br />
medical<br />
expenses may not be<br />
covered by the recipient’s<br />
insurance), lack<br />
of understanding by<br />
WE ACCEPT THE<br />
FOLLOWING INSURANCES :<br />
Missouri Consolidated (UMR),<br />
United Healthcare, Aetna, McDonnell<br />
Douglas/Boeing, Blue Cross/<br />
Blue Shield and many others.<br />
the public about<br />
organ donation<br />
policies, poor<br />
training of medical<br />
personnel who<br />
request consent <strong>for</strong><br />
donations, and an<br />
inability to accurately<br />
evaluate the<br />
quality of donated<br />
organs based on<br />
currently available<br />
procurement<br />
testing.<br />
Klein notes that<br />
their study showed<br />
that the public<br />
needs to be educated<br />
about organ<br />
donation and that<br />
the transplantation<br />
process and<br />
organ procurement<br />
facilities need to be<br />
more transparent<br />
if we hope to turn<br />
around the decline<br />
in organ donations<br />
as the need<br />
increases.<br />

<strong>Always</strong> <strong>Looking</strong> For a <strong>Challenge</strong><br />
Whether it’s<br />
lunch at The Bread<br />
Co., Tuesday nights<br />
at BWW, or Goody’s<br />
which is set to open<br />
later this month The<br />
Mansion Mall is once<br />
again a retail hot spot<br />
in the 573, and Jim<br />
Bailey is the man behind<br />
the property being<br />
brought back to life.<br />
It turns out<br />
that the Mansion Mall<br />
could quite possibly<br />
still be blight sitting<br />
at one of the busiest<br />
intersections in the 573<br />
except that it was a<br />
challenge that opened<br />
up at the time Jim<br />
Bailey was looking <strong>for</strong><br />
one. “I was looking<br />
<strong>for</strong> a challenge. I am<br />
always looking <strong>for</strong> new<br />
things to accomplish,<br />
and when this became<br />
available it made<br />
sense.” said Bailey.<br />
The Mansion<br />
Mall was originally<br />
built in 1970 by the Mc<br />
Lane family of Poplar<br />
Bluff. Many will<br />
Birthdays, Mother’s<br />
Day, Teachers, Friends,<br />
Sisters, Baby Showers,<br />
Bridal Showers, etc.<br />
remember it was the<br />
original location of one<br />
of the<br />
first<br />
Wal-<br />
Mart<br />
stores.<br />
Wal-<br />
Mart<br />
relocated<br />
to a<br />
new<br />
supercenterseveral<br />
blocks<br />
south<br />
in<br />
1987.<br />
The<br />
Mansion<br />
Mall<br />
got its<br />
name<br />
from<br />
the old<br />
Mansion<br />
that<br />
occupied the site as a<br />
restaurant throughout<br />
the 1970s.<br />
While it had a<br />
great past the 90’s and<br />
the early part of this<br />
century were unkind<br />
to the property. It was<br />
largely vacant and in<br />
disrepair.<br />
In 2004 the<br />
city began<br />
a process of<br />
taking over<br />
the site of<br />
the Mansion<br />
Mall<br />
and the Valley<br />
Plaza.<br />
Soon after<br />
the city<br />
announced<br />
their intentions<br />
the<br />
property<br />
was sold to<br />
Southern<br />
Missouri<br />
Bank.<br />
The center<br />
was purchased in<br />
2005 by Jim and his<br />
wife Shannon Bailey.<br />
People all over the<br />
area have since seen<br />
the center has be totally<br />
reconstructed and<br />
brought up to today’s<br />
standards. Included<br />
in the massive redevelopment<br />
are new<br />
storm water management,<br />
tuck pointing,<br />
painting, gutters, the<br />
parking lot reshaped<br />
and Asphalted as well<br />
as all new mechanicals,<br />
HVAC, plumbing,<br />
electrical, all new<br />
roofing, new parking<br />
lot lighting, and finally<br />
two new Signs displaying<br />
tenant logos.<br />
The Mansion<br />
Mall isn’t Bailey’s first<br />
commercial development.<br />
It was Bailey<br />
who sold Walgreen’s<br />
the property they are<br />
currently on. “After<br />

BBQ lovers in the 573<br />
have a new must eat at<br />
place in Porky’s located on<br />
South Westwood Blvd in<br />
Poplar Bluff. From Ribs<br />
to Pork Steak no one will<br />
leave Porky’s hungry.<br />
Bill Wilson and his wife<br />
Heather opened their first<br />
restaurant three years ago<br />
in Kennett and have since<br />
expanded to Poplar Bluff.<br />
The restaurant is family<br />
owned and you can tell it<br />
by how nice and polite the<br />
staff is once you enter.<br />
When you walk into<br />
Porky’s the front door rings the cowbell overhead, and<br />
you have pictures of Poplar Bluff’s past all along the<br />
walls. The décor isn’t complete without checking out<br />
the jukebox.<br />
For starters we enjoyed an appetizer. The fried<br />
mushrooms were outstanding, and we always appreciate<br />
a restaurant with sweet tea. We tried the pork<br />

Dining<br />
Porky’s BBQ<br />
in Poplar Bluff<br />
steak and it<br />
was spot on.<br />
It is almost<br />
bigger than<br />
the ample<br />
sized plate,<br />
and the<br />
BBQ sauce gave it a great flavor.<br />
The couple we were with had the ribs and<br />
spared us a couple….they were great. In fact<br />
we cleaned ours right to the bone.<br />
We asked about the sauce and we were told<br />
it was a family recipe and had won several<br />
awards. It is not too sweet, just about right.<br />
While the entrée was remarkable the sides<br />
were just as good. They simply have the<br />
best potato salad we had ever eaten. It is<br />
creamy and you literally have never tasted<br />
anything like it. For dessert we ordered some<br />
peach cobbler, and although we were full and<br />
shouldn’t have even ordered it….we finished it.<br />
Everyone knows folks in the 573 love their BBQ, and<br />
all those that do should definitely put Porky’s on their<br />
list of must stops soon.<br />
Porky’s is located at 3206 South Westwood Blvd.<br />
in Poplar Bluff; you can call them at 573-785-4227.<br />
Porky’s also delivers in and around the Poplar Bluff<br />
area.

ozark dive company<br />
Ed Pavey of Ozark Dive Company<br />
invites everyone in the 573<br />
to dive in and get wet.<br />
“Don’t wait too long to learn to<br />
dive. Every weekend you’re not<br />
doing it,<br />
you’re<br />
missing<br />
out on<br />
the best<br />
time of your<br />
life,” he<br />
said.<br />
In business<br />
since<br />
March of<br />
2006, Pavey’s Ozark Dive<br />
Company, at 204 North<br />
Tenth Street in Poplar Bluff,<br />
teaches diving classes, leads<br />
expeditions and sells all the<br />
necessary equipment <strong>for</strong> an<br />
underwater adventure.<br />
Pavey began diving at age 9,<br />
when his grandfather bought him<br />
a mask, fins and a snorkel to use<br />
on fishing trips in Minnesota.<br />
“My first dives were to the<br />
bottom of the lake to get my<br />
grandfather’s lost lures,” Pavey<br />
said.<br />
Now, Pavey teaches first-time<br />
and potential divers out of the<br />
classroom in his shop and at local<br />
pools. After the divers have mastered<br />
the basic skills, they plunge<br />
into the surrounding area’s caves,<br />
quarries and springs. Ozark Dive<br />
Shop employee Heidi McMullin<br />
said Mermet Springs in Southern<br />
Illinois is a favored spot <strong>for</strong> firsttime<br />
divers. Other local diving<br />
hot spots include Wappapello<br />
Lake and Keener Springs.<br />
Pavey recommends novice<br />
divers be com<strong>for</strong>table in the<br />
water be<strong>for</strong>e taking his classes,<br />
but said they don’t have to be<br />
strong swimmers. Pavey said<br />
he’s even<br />
helped<br />
those with<br />
fears of<br />
the water<br />
overcome<br />
anxieties<br />
by learning<br />
to dive.<br />
“You don’t<br />
know how much fun diving is<br />
until you’ve tried it,” Pavey said.<br />
“Don’t wait too long to learn to<br />
dive.”<br />
