Pegasus Bus Company announces new models

DUNKIRK, Ohio—Pegasus Bus Company, a new Dunkirk company spearheaded by experienced executives in the school and transit bus industries, has announced details surrounding the design of its all-new Atlas models for Type A and C school buses.

According to the company, with unique body designs and state-of-the-art standard features and options, the new Pegasus vehicles will give bus buyers greater freedom of choice. The broad availability of Atlas models through the Pegasus dealer network will enhance competitiveness that should broadly benefit transit and school bus players in much of North America.

Pearls of wisdom

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The idiom “pearls of wisdom” means something sounds wise or helpful.  Amazingly, there is a website with a list of 86 songs giving life advice. The site recommends using this list to create a playlist for someone special especially for life events such as birthdays. The number one song on the list by The Rolling Stones is “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” The author feels the lyrics touch on tempering optimism with a dose of reality.
