City Torrington and County of Goshen are asking local residents to register their telephone numbers in the new CodeRED Emergency Notification System. CodeRed is a high-speed telephone communication service that allows authorities to send out emergency information right to your phone. It is capable of dialing fifty thousand phone numbers per hour. This system would deliver a recorded message to a registered telephone number and make three attempts to connect to your number. So if a child goes missing or there were water contamination notices, this system could get the word out quickly. Phone numbers will not be sold or shared with anyone. If you have not signed up for CodeRed, you should visit GoshenCounty.Org website and register your phone number today.

Vern Ellis had earned the 2009 AARP Wyoming Tax Aide Award. He had been working with the AARR Tax Aid program since 1995. Ellis says he keeps helping more people with their tax returns each year.
