This week’s question is from T.W., Ak-ron: “What bowls
and dishes still sell well?”
Good question T.W. In the current paper plate and solo cup
busy world many families now live in, one thing has stood the test of time, and that is Pyrex. While com-mon dishes and bowls sell for little at auctions, the Primary Four Pyrex Bowls still get a very decent price. As do the many colorful and fancy Pyrex bowls and baking dishes. We regularly see single bowls like the ones pictured in our store selling for $25-$35 each. So enjoy your pyrex, knowing the world still enjoys them as much as we do. And thank you for your question.
If you have something you would like to know more about or the value of an item, stop by our store or auction house.
And I will happily research it for you for free.

By Julie Ann Madden Akron councilors unani-mouslyapprovedafive-yearcontract with union-member employees at their May 11 meeting. Akron City Attorney David Stuart presented the negotiated contract details to the council. The five-year contractincludes 2.5 percent annual salary increases, which is what the last five yearsunion-member employees have received, said Stuart, adding the elongated con-tracts have also been done the last few years. City positions receiving the raise are Chief of Police, City Administrator, City Clerk,DeputyClerk,OfficeAssistant, two on Electric Department, Water/Sewer Department, Street Depart-ment, and EMS Director.
In other business, the Council unanimously approved by votes of 3-0, the following: •FirstStreetImprove-ment Project completion acceptance agreement with the contingency that Akron City Administrator Dan Rolfes is responsible to make sure the “punch list” of project things needed to be completed are done by the contractor. •Approving the quotefor the resurfacing the Big Sioux River Road, west of Iowa Highway 12. Akron City Clerk Melea Nielsen explained the quote was less than the city’s bid let-ting threshold so city offi-cials didn’t have to seek bids. The quote was cheap because the contractor was already in the area. City Road Use Tax funds will be

used to pay for this project. • The Constitution’sliquor license with the stipu-lation that Nielsen receive the documents required from the new owners. • After discussingwhether to make a donation to the Akron Rebels ball team, to give them $200. Councilor Joseph Small was concerned “by giving to one, you’d have to give to them all.” Nielsen noted the coun-cil had given Akron Rebels a $200 donation last year because they didn’t have the Westerner Summer Ball Program expenditures, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This year all programs are a go. The city does have a Donation Fund in the budget, added Nielsen, sug-gesting the council could change donation amounts. It was also noted that this donation is to help offset the cost of hiring umpires, which can range from $30 to $50 per game. Akron Mayor Alex Pick said it was like a market-ing fund -- the Rebels bring people to town who spend money here. Saying she kind of has a soft spot for the Rebels, Councilor Denise Loutsch-Beitelspacher made the motion to give them $200 and Small seconded it.
