BY MARK ASHTON STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — What better way to “cel- ebrate our current successes and future endeavors” than with a continental breakfast and some networking? That’s how Tradewinds Clubhouse wel- comed the public to its awareness event earli- er this week. The idea was to provide a little food – and a little food for thought on mental health awareness. After more than two decades in downtown Southbridge, Tradewinds is still trying to set the record straight on its work, its mission, and its mem- bers. The latter are adults with mental illness liv- ing in area communities (mostly in southern Worcester County) who have chosen the club- house as a means of overcoming some of the challenges of living with mental illness. The clubhouse’s coverage area includes: Brimfield, the Brookfields, Charlton, Dudley, Holland, Southbridge, Spencer, Sturbridge, Wales, Warren, and Webster. Tradewinds is one of 32 recovery and reha- bilitation centers (called “clubhouses”) sus- taining more than 8,000 Massachusetts resi- dents with mental illness. The local clubhouse Edith Hale and Adam Metras put new exercise bikes April Blais of Southbridge, a clubhouse member for Mark Ashton photos serves some 700 members (clients are auto- to the test. 10 years, currently takes classes at Quinsigamond matically members for life), with about three Tradewinds Member Michael Mercier tries out a bal- Community College. dozen attending programs in Southbridge ance disc cushion in the clubhouse’s fitness center daily, according to Program Coordinator Lisa area.

Thiel described Wednesday’s event as an opportunity to correct some public miscon- ceptions about people with mental illness and their roles in the community. “A lot of people assume our members aren’t fit for working,” she said, using the example of members help- ing out in the Southbridge School System “for more than 10 years” as evidence of the club- house’s success. Tradewinds also assists members in secur- ing suitable housing, some of which is man- aged by the clubhouse and all of which is held to standards of cleanliness and affordability. Arrangements made with local landlords can benefit both property owners and clubhouse members, said Thiel. “It’s good for them and good for us,” she said, adding, “If we wouldn’t live there, we won’t place someone there.” On its website, Tradewinds lists its mem- bers as people dealing with Asperger’s Syndrome, phobias, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, and other mental health issues. The local clubhouse has wheelchair ramps, accessible parking, acces- sible restrooms, help for the visually and hear- ing impaired and the physically disabled.

Simply put, the Japanese automaker has produced a midsize sedan that once again should come out on top. Before, frankly, the Altima was largely a value proposition. It was a quality sedan that was roomy in sedan. Plus, Nissan always seem poised to offer good deals on it. Around where I live in Central Connecticut, silver Nissan Altimas are ubiquitous. I call it the unofficial state sedan. For 2013 that all changes. Nissan has creat- ed an aspirational sedan. It’s going to be a car that people want to be in. It will not be seen as practical transportation with a roomy trunk. It’s still all that but now it’s a sedan that can engender passion among its owners. But I’m going to skip the passionate side of the 2013 Nissan Altima and focus on two practical elements of it that are perfect: 38 mpg on the highway and the zero-gravity seats. Let’s look at the latter. Simply put, these are the most comfortable seats – bar none – that I have sat in for a long time. Nissan, during a media introduction of the Altima in Nashville, Tenn., had us expe- rience the seats as driver and passenger over the course of a couple hundred miles. Before we departed, the company had journalists sit in a 2011 Nissan Altima seat and a 2012 Hyundai Sonata seat. I never used to think The 2013 Nissan Altima is all-new and it’s going to be a game changer in the midsize sedan segment. those seats were horrible, but they are in comparison. Seats are going to become the next battle- The system doesn’t use radar like other The V6 2013 Nissan Altima starts at $25,360 ground in the midsize sedan class because of vehicles. The information comes from the in the S trim (which is comparable to the SV what Nissan has accomplished with the Auto Review Altima’s rearview camera. It has an impres- trim level in the four-cylinder model).

It Here’s the official explanation from of 180 lb. ft. (same as the previous model).
