Making a difference

Edwin Manning of Lake Waccamaw mows his own lawn “for my exercise,” he said. When the grass isn’t growing, he can be found growing vegetables in his garden or picking up pecans or fruit from his trees, or litter on the roadside. “I can feel the difference in my health,” the 73-year-old said about the good days, when he does yard work. “I’m still trying to enjoy life.”
