New berry garden: Bethany Rotary Club members recently planted a row of mixed berry bushes in the Harrison County Health Department Community Garden. Pictured are Rotarians Shane Jones, Kurt Kimble, and Charlie Trump. The Rotary Club received a grant from Rotary International and Rotary District 6040 for the plants. The grant required a cash match and sweat equity from the club. The new berry garden will help provide nutrition diversity for Harrison County community residents.–Submitted photo
