Jeff MacTaggart and Smokey Defy the Pony Race Scene

Jeff MacTaggart, 11, rides his pony Smokey in Iowa pony clubs and the annual Pony Express fundraiser. He began with Cajun's Firefly, trained seven months for high point trophies, and earned multiple ISSCA trophies in Mason City. The family, from Luzerne, built a new barn, plans to breed, and Jeff dreams of a semi truck and a western ranch. Smokey’s notable win came in Elkader on the horse race.

Prairie restoration brings a mini prairie to Iowa campus

Cornell biologist Dr. David Lyon plants more than 20 native prairie species on Iowa campus between King chapel and Bowman Hall, with seeds set outdoors by late April. The project aims to revive prairie blooms in spring and fall, reaching maturity after about three years. Lyon highlights prairie preservation as living history for future generations.
