COMMON GROUND- From left, Erin Bond, 15, Alyse Fuentes, 17, Julia Byrd, 15, and Gage Minton have a late evening chat in the parking lot of Borchard Community Center as winter break draws to a close. Topics of discussion included the environment, philosophy, the legacy of their generation and, of course, who's going out with whom. Classes in public schools reopened Monday after winter break.
