At least $90,000 from convention accounts went toward the exclusive waterfront home, bought with a woman who is not his wife, the St.

Petersburg Times reported Thursday. Convention officials told the paper that Lyons does not have permission to spend convention money on his real estate deals. On July 6, Lyons' wife set fire to the house. She told authorities that she had discovered her husband owned it along with Bernice Edwards, the Baptist Convention's former public relations director, and that they were having an affair. Mrs.

Lyons later recanted, saying the fire was an accident and she believed that her husband had been faithful. The group hopes other state conventions will pass similar resolutions against the Rev. Henry Lyons of St. Petersburg. The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA The embattled president of the National Baptist Convention USA should step aside until a national commission completes its investigation into his alleged wrongdoings, said some two dozen ministers.

The resolution passed during a meeting Friday at a North Philadelphia church was the first formal announcement made by a group of Baptist ministers since allegations surfaced that the Rev. Henry Lyons had used church money to build a $700,000 waterfront home in Florida. James Hall, president of the Pennsylvania State Baptist Convention, admitted following the meeting that their decision will have no immediate effect on Lyons' status as head of the nation's largest black church. But Hall said he hoped the decision would persuade other state Baptist conventions across the country to pass similar resolutions. The Rev.

David Weeks president of the Philadelphia Baptist Ministers Conference, said asking Lyons to temporarily step aside was not enough. "We need to put him out of there," he said. "People are getting this picture that all Baptist preachers are like Lyons, but it ain't that way at all." Another pastor, John J.

Tlie Associated Press LOS ANGELES Andrew Cunanan's mother says she looked up to her son as an adviser when he was a child and recalls him as "way above me intellectually." "Up until he was 14, he was my mentor," Mary Ann Cunanan said in an interview with Hard Copy. "We would take walks and he would advise me what to do," she said. "He knew all the right answers because I was having problems with my marriage, and I would turn to him." Cunanan had the master bedroom in his family's home when he was 16, she said. "I wasn't in his lifestyle or league," she said.

"We lived in our bathing suits," said Diver, recalling her years on the island.

"We swam, played house all the time and danced the Charleston." In the museum, where Timmons, Diver and other bridge tenders' families lived, is a collection of the life the workers left behind. The museum chronicles the time-line of the 5-acre island and the Seven Mile Bridge, once labeled the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The women spent most of their teenage years living on the tiny island that once served as a base camp for workers who constructed Henry Flagler's Overseas Railway in the Florida Keys.

The Associated Press MIAMI Federal authorities claim Jose Miguel Battle was an organized crime boss who once had a "corporation" that killed at least 20 people and intimidated witnesses.

The problem is all they can get him on now is passport fraud. Frustrated prosecutors are hoping to milk his guilty plea for all they can, asking U.S. Senior District Judge James Lawrence King to sentence him next month to five years in prison. That's despite sentencing guidelines that call for 12 months Battle's already served eight. "It's taking him off the streets for a while," Metro-Dade vice Lt.

Vic McEachim said when the Cuban native was charged. "Al Capone was arrested for income tax invasion. That worked. I'm happy to see these charges." Authorities had been on Battle's trail for 20 years when they raided his $1.5 million South Dade estate in December. They claim he was the legendary bolita king of the New York area.

Underlings call him El Padrino the Godfather, authorities said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Lehner has pushed for a tough sentence based on Battle's "long criminal history," the leniency he received for a previous felony and the extremely high "likelihood that he will commit further crimes." If Battle avoids federal prison, his troubles aren't over. In May, he was charged with possession of a 20-gauge shotgun. Battle, a felon, is not supposed to have such weapons.

Trial on that charge is set for September. Call before August 23, we'll clean five vents at no extra charge!
