When 23-year-old Dawson Broad dove headfirst into a pool on Independence Day, he couldn’t have foreseen the resulting injury that would change his life, leaving him unable to walk with limited mobility in his upper extremities.

While recovering in the hospital, the young student athlete learned through social media about Buffalo’s newest rehabilitation facility, Motion Project: The Natalie Barnhard Center for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation and Recovery.

Dawson hoped the Center’s state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge approach to rehab could help him ambulate and work towards becoming more independent.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – SHELTON — A Shelton nonprofit rehabilitation center has managed to not only survive, but thrive in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moving with Hope — long known for providing affordable care to those diagnosed with debilitating physical disabilities — received about $600,000 in COVID relief funds. Owners Tad and Joanne Duni invested the federal money in state-of-the-art equipment and hiring experienced staff for the 10-year-old center.

“I thought we would never get this chance again, so we went for it,” said Tad Duni, who hosted U.S Rep. Jim Himes last week for a tour of the facility, now located on Controls Drive.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 5, 2022 – The sports equipment manufacturer SportsArt presented its new G260 rowing machine, a piece of equipment that has a patented micro-inverter that allows users to generate electricity and offset their carbon footprint while enjoying high-intensity training.

With the G260 Rower SportsArt expands its ECO-PWR TM product line . ECO-PWR TM products convert up to 74% of human energy into usable electricity. That means one hour of exercise with an ECO-PWR TM machine can produce enough electricity to power a desktop computer for 2.5 hours.

In particular, the G260 rower features integrated handlebar controls that allow the user to effortlessly adjust resistance levels on the fly. It has an electromagnetic braking system that generates the sensation of rowing on the water.

Against a backdrop of a pandemic that has shredded supply chains and gym memberships alike, it was mildly surreal to see professional-grade gym machine company SportsArt launch a rowing machine that can pump energy back into the grid.
