🐾HSPPR Issues Urgent Scam Warning

The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region has alerted the community about a scam involving fraudulent phone calls demanding payment for the return of lost pets. HSPPR clarifies that they never request payment over the phone. If contacted by someone claiming to represent HSPPR, visit their Admissions to confirm the legitimacy and avoid sharing personal information.

🏗️ Drake Power Plant Demolition Nears End

The Drake Power Plant close to downtown Colorado Springs, a nearly century-old coal-fueled facility, is in its final days of demolition. The decision, influenced by modern environmental regulations and maintenance costs, will also improve the downtown skyline. While major structures will be demolished this week, six smaller stacks will remain for a new natural gas system. Future site use will depend on environmental assessments post-demolition.

🌯 4-Layer Enchilada Cakes

These healthy vegan enchiladas prove that everything is better in cake form. Each layer of these generously filled cakes has a different hearty filling melded together with enchilada sauce. This recipe takes some time to assemble, but it’s fun and delicious and built to impress. Make your own oil-free enchilada sauce using their tasty recipe, or look for some at the store.

Access the complete recipe with tailored modifications to suit your dietary requirements, along with convenient print options.
