 When the air's hot, and the water's not ... (Tuesday, July 26, on the Farmington River in Collinsville.) Photo: dotCANTON The town is advising that roadwork will begin on Dyer Avenue, from Simonds Avenue to Maple Avenue, on or about Monday, Aug. 1. The work will focus on drainage improvements, resurfacing, curb installation and the reconstruction of driveway aprons as required. According to the town, Dyer Avenue will be open to local traffic at all times during construction, but there could be delays. Detours will be provided during construction activities to reduce thru traffic on Dyer Avenue. Since access to the community center / library and Canton Intermediate School will be impacted during construction, the drainage and surface improvements included in this section of roadway will be completed first, before the start of the school year, according to the town. The town says driveway aprons to local properties may be replaced within the public right of way to match the elevation of the new roadway pavement. According to the town, the contractor is required to coordinate any temporary closures of a private driveway in advance of the removal and replacement a driveway apron. There may, however, be minor delays in leaving or entering affected driveways at certain times. The town says questions should be directed toward Jeff Shea, project administrator, at jshea@townofcantonct.org or at 860-693-7855. CTnow.com has the story of a 16-year-old from Westport who was among a group of teenagers attacked by a bear over the weekend while learning outdoor survival skills in Alaska.  A crew from Pettinelli & Associates of Burlington, Vt., works Saturday, July 23, on the gazebo that's going up in open space south of the waste water treatment plant on River Road (Route 179). The crew expects the gazebo, a component of Phase III of the Farmington River Trail project, to be finished by Wednesday, July 27.  Renovation work continues at the transfer station, where three drop-off ports were being installed on Friday, July 22. Large, removable containers eventually will be connected to the backs of these permanent fixtures (there's room for a fourth port in the future). The pull-up area in front of these receptacles has been torn up and widened, and will need to be repaved. When the work is completed, transfer station users will pull up to the receptacles, walk across a short bridge (safety railings will be installed) and deposit their household trash.

But do you remember how much snow fell last January? Just six months ago? Do you remember how roofs were collapsing from the weight? Remember the ice dams? Do you remember how cold it was?
