SACHIRE, Georgia -- Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim a woman from a mountain village turned 130 on Thursday, making her the oldest person on Earth. Antisa Khvichava was born on July 8, 1880, said a government spokesman.

She retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say. "I've always been healthy, and I've worked all my life -- at home and at the farm," said Khvichava, in a bright dress and headscarf, her withering lips rejuvenated by shiny red lipstick.

Her age couldn't immediately be independently verified. Her birth certificate was lost. But two Soviet-era documents attest to her age, the government spokesman said.
