Two Montgomery organizations are hoping to impact nearly 200 youth with a summer camp program.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Beginning this summer, the MAP Center and Common Ground will partner up for an innovative summer program for nearly 200 Montgomery children.
“We’re looking forward to some positive opportunities in this community for children throughout the summer,” said MAP Center & Mercy House Executive Director Ken Austin. MAP Youth Navigation is an eight-week program that will consist of enrichment and outdoor activities like swimming and horseback riding that children can participate in at the Common Ground Montgomery building and a new campsite in Billingsley on some days throughout the summer.
“You have everything from tutors to mentors to people coming doing very specific developmental activities with the kids all summer long,” Common Ground Executive Director Bryan Kelly said. In addition to a day camp, the program will also host a night camp for teens ages 14 and up which will consist of recreational activities and mentoring..Not reading this story on the WSFA News App?

Range-wide population genomics of common seadragons shows secondary contact over a former barrier and insights on illegal capture - BMC BiologyBackground Common seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, Syngnathidae) are an emblem of the diverse endemic fauna of Australia’s southern rocky reefs, the newly recognized “Great Southern Reef.” A lack of assessments spanning this global biodiversity hotspot in its entirety is currently hampering an understanding of the factors that have contributed to its diversity. The common seadragon has a wide range across Australia's entire temperate south and includes a geogenetic break over a former land bridge, which has called its status as a single species into question. As a popular aquarium display that sells for high prices, common seadragons are also vulnerable to illegal capture. Results Here, we provide range-wide nuclear sequences (986 variable Ultraconserved Elements) for 198 individuals and mitochondrial genomes for 140 individuals to assess species status, identify genetic units and their diversity, and trace the source of two poached individuals. Using published data of the other two seadragon species, we found that lineages of common seadragons have diverged relatively recently (| 0.63 Ma). Within common seadragons, we found pronounced genetic structure, falling into three major groups in the western, central, and eastern parts of the range. While populations across the Bassian Isthmus were divergent, there is also evidence for secondary contact since the passage opened. We found a strong cline of genetic diversity from the range center tapering symmetrically towards the range peripheries. Based on their genetic similarities, the poached individuals were inferred to have originated from around Albany in southwestern Australia. Conclusions We conclude that common seadragons constitute a single species with strong geographic structure but coherence through gene flow. The low genetic diversity on the east and west coasts is concerning given that these areas are projected to face fast climate change. Our results suggest that in addition to their life history, geolo
