Denver is not moving forward with plans to hire a private security company to take over the city’s migrant sheltering efforts, Mayor Michael Hancock’s office announced Thursday, less than two weeks after backlash began over the proposed $40 million contract.The Denver City Council was scheduled to vote on the contract with GardaWorld Federal Services on Monday. However, after nonprofit leaders met with city staff and company representatives Wednesday, they said their concerns only grew about the international company’s history of alleged abuses and mistreatment, as well as its lack of experience in sheltering migrants.In a written statement, the outgoing mayor’s office stated that it had hoped to finish negotiations, community engagement and get council approval prior to the new administration taking over, but there’s more work to be done.“With more than 500 Central and South American refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants still in our care, we con...

There are few people on the planet that love hash as much as Ashley Gaetrig, co-founder of one of the top hardware companies in solventless hash, IceExtract.I’ve had the pleasure of judging solventless at The Emerald Cup with Gaetrig for the last couple of years. It’s easy to presume she brings the same focus levels to all her work as she does judging the world’s best hash.Much of the time over the years she made the hash she was smoking alongside her husband Eric. She emphasized it’s a shared journey. The affection for hash she shares with him proved a major catalyst for where their lives ended up. The pair started growing in Michigan for personal use 20 years ago. Eventually, the medical laws passed and they decided to take it to the next level as caregivers.“Then we got some patients and we were growing the weed for them and basically charging them really cheap prices, $100 an ounce,” Ashley told L.A. Weekly. “That was on top of what we gave to them for free. And then they were b...
