This past Friday, more than 150 Deloitte & Touche LLP employees spent the day at the town’s Community Center at 330 Windsor Avenue as part of National IMPACT Day. Every Deloitte & Touche firm nation-wide participates in this annual event and joins in the cause of helping local communities.

The work completed by the volunteers was quite impressive including the installation of a garden patio at the Caring Connection, the painting of several rooms including the gymnasium, clearing of overgrown areas and the planting of shrubs in the rear of the building, and in the vicinity of Sharshon Park, and many other small repairs throughout the building.

Deloitte & Touche is one of the nation's leading professional services firms. The company has 30,000 people working in more than 100 offices across the country. In Connecticut, offices are located in Hartford, Stamford, Wilton, and Nyala.

As of April 30, 2005 the Town and Windsor Public Schools have incurred 69 worker compensation injuries with a total reserve and paid as of the same period of $118,000. During last fiscal year, the Town and Board of Education had 88 injuries with a total incurred of $322,000 including medical and indemnity payments and reserves.

Over the past 13 years, our average number of claims per year was 128 and the total incurred average has been $368,092 annually.

We expect that the total number of claims will be below the 88 from last year and that the total incurred will be below $185,000 after all claims from this fiscal year are properly reserved. We believe the reason for this low number of worker compensation claims is due in part to increased safety awareness of all employees.

In Connecticut, the month of June is the time to license your dog. All dogs six months of age or older must be licensed each year. Registration can be done in person at the Town Clerk’s Office or through the mail. Fees for a dog license are $8.00 for a spayed or neutered dog, or $19.00 for a dog that has not been spayed or neutered. If you are registering by mail, please send a self-addressed stamped envelope with payment.

All those purchasing a license need to provide a valid rabies certificate and a certificate stating that your dog has been spayed or neutered.

The "Just for Fun Dog Show" will be held on Thursday, June 23^rd on the Town Green. Registration begins at 5:30 PM and the judging begins at 6:00 PM.
