The Ones To Trust With Your Dental Health

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Offi-cials in New Jersey’s capital say they’ve resolved a fight over toilet paper.

Trenton’s The Times news-paper (http://bit.ly/wLrubH) reports Mayor Tony Mack’s administration will move for-ward with an emergency pur-chase of toilet paper and pa-per towels. Supplies of both dwindled in city buildings while the administration and City Council quarreled over a contract to resupply city gov-ernment.

The stalemate began last Sep-tember. The council twice re-jected a $42,000 contract for a year’s supply of paper prod-ucts because members raised

concerns about a high unit price for hot-drink cups.

Before the $16,000 emergency contract was announced Tues-day, officials said paper towel and toilet paper dispensers were nearly depleted in senior citizen centers, police head-quarters, the fire department and other city offices.

BUFORD, Wyo. (AP) — What’s advertised as the smallest town in the United States is scheduled to go up for auction next month.

Buford, located between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming, is famous for having just one inhab-itant, Don Sammons.

Sammons plans to retire from man-aging his businesses at Buford and move on. The auction is set for noon on April 5.

Buford traces its origins the 1860s and the construction of the Trans-continental Railroad and had as many as 2,000 residents before the railroad was rerouted.

Sammons and his family moved from Los Angeles to Buford in 1980. Family members moved away over the years, but Sammons stayed on as sole resident and “mayor” of the unincorporated community. He bought the trading post in 1992 and operated it until last year.

“It was a great life for me and for my family,” he said, adding it would be the same for anyone looking for a unique operation.

Buford sits at an elevation of 8,000

feet and is the highest town along Interstate 80 between New York and California. The area offers impressive views of the Rocky Mountains but is prone to extreme winds and frigid temperatures — even by Wyoming standards.

Foul weather shuts down I-80 be-tween Cheyenne and Laramie at least a couple times during a typical winter. Each time that happens, Bu-ford might as well be at the North Pole rather than next to one of the busiest cross-country thoroughfares in the U.S.

Assets up for sale will include a gas station and convenience store, a 1905 schoolhouse that has been used as an office, a cabin, a ga-rage, 10 acres of land, a three-bedroom home, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/z6dCkL ).

Buford has its own ZIP code and post office boxes for people who live near-by.

It’s a business opportunity that also offers a romantic lifestyle, said Amy Bates, chief marketing officer for

Oklahoma City, Okla.-based Wil-liams and Williams, which is han-dling the auction. Bidding will open at $100,000, she said.

“We’re going to have a variety of people attracted to this property, based on what it would mean to them,” Bates said.

DEATHS BARRED IN ITALIAN VILLAGEROME (AP) — Since the start of the month it has been illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Naples in southern Italy.

Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-in-cheek decree because

the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one — creating a logistical problem about what to do with the deceased.

The mayor told newspapers that vil-lagers are content.

“The ordinance has brought happi-ness,” he was quoted Tuesday as say-ing. “Unfortunately, two elderly citi-zens disobeyed.”

FORMER MR. UNIVERSE TURNS 100 IN INDIA KOLKATA, India (AP) — A former Mr. Universe who has just turned 100 said Sunday that happiness and a life without tensions are the key to his longevity.

Manohar Aich, who is 4 foot 11 inches (150 centimeters) tall, overcame many hurdles, including grinding poverty and a stint in prison, to achieve body build-ing glory.

His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gathered Sunday in the eastern city of Kolkata to celebrate his birthday the day before.

Hindu priests chanted prayers while a feast was laid out to honor Aich, winner of the 1952 Mr. Universe body building title.

Rippling his muscles and flashing a tooth-less grin, Aich says his ability to take his troubles lightly and remain happy during difficult times are the secrets to his long life.

That, and a simple diet of milk, fruits and vegetables along with rice, lentils and fish have kept him healthy.

He does not smoke and has never touched alcohol, he said.“I never allow any sort of tension to grip

me. I had to struggle to earn money since my young days, but whatever the situa-tion, I remained happy,” Aich said, sitting in a room decorated with posters and pic-tures of his many bodybuilding triumphs.

Aich, who was born in the small town of Comilla in Bengal, was a puny youngster. But he was attracted to exercising and building his muscles when as a schoolboy he saw a group of wrestlers in action.

After leaving school in 1942, he joined the Royal air force under India’s British colonial rulers and it was there that he be-gan his relentless pursuit of body build-ing.

Encouraged by a British officer named Reub Martin, who introduced him to weight training, Aich earned praise for his physique from his peers in the air force.

Some years later, however, he was thrown into prison when he protested against co-lonial oppression.

“It was in the jail that I began weight training seriously. This helped me prepare myself for the world championship,” said Aich.

“In jail I used to practice on my own, without any equipment, sometimes for 12 hours in a day,” he recalled.

But the jail authorities were impressed with his perseverance and he was given a special diet to help build his stamina.

India’s independence in 1947 led to Aich’s release from jail. Dogged by pov-erty, Aich and his wife struggled to put their four children through school. There was little cash to indulge his passion for body building, but Aich took up odd jobs to earn a little on the side.

His 1950 win of a “Mr. Hercules” contest spurred him to set his sights on the Mr. Universe tournament in London.

In 1951, Aich came second in the con-test, and stayed on in London to prepare for another shot at the title. He returned to India after winning the title in 1952.

What followed were a host of awards, including top positions in Asian Body building Championships. Over the years, he also earned the more popular title of

“Pocket Hercules” due to his 4 foot 11 inch-frame.

Six decades later, Aich helps his sons run a gym and fitness center and spends his days guiding juvenile hopefuls to reach the heights of body building that he did.

A minor stroke last year has robbed him of the ability to lift weights, but he keeps a watchful eye on young body builders training in his gym.

Although his two sons did not take up body building, Aich says his mentoring has earned him rewards. It has produced India’s eight-time national champion, Satya Paul. Another protege, Premchand Dogra, snagged the Mr. Universe title in 1988.

Among his regrets, says Aich, is that he never had a chance to meet his more fa-mous counterpart, a fellow Mr. Universe winner, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But Aich says he’s seen many of Schwar-zenegger’s action films.

“I like the incredible stunts he does in the movies,” Aich said.
