Council session ends in walkout amid YMCA dispute
A rancorous city council meeting adjourned after Councilman D Pat Ahern walked out over a motion to involve City Attorney and Attorney General in a dispute over YMCA and Y MCA projects. Mayor Kealer and three other council members favored contacting officials to move a court path, while Ahern objected to proceeding without a quorum. A separate report details a supermarket robbery at Dixby Knalls Market where three men forced entry, grabbed about 276 dollars, and fled, with a manager noting a white money bag and nervous suspects.
