Stampede bartender says 'I'm never going to do it again' as mental health impacts linger around the city
Post-Stampede enrollment at the Calgary Counselling Centre is similar in many ways to enrollment after December holidays. As the chaos of cowboy carousing begins to ebb, and life returns to normal, people's minds are given leeway to drift towards their own mental health needs. Article content Kelly Hanasyk thinks the drinking culture around Stampede might creating the need for mental health support. She was on the Stampede's front lines, having driven from her home in Edmonton to bartend in one of the numerous party tent pop ups around the city for the full ten day run. She documented the experience on Tiktok, with one video garnering more than 1.9-million views. Article content Article content Article content She said she saw a clear degradation in the public over the course of her time behind a bar. By the second weekend, guests were more aggressive and demanding, and at times outright hostile. Article content Article content A three-year long study published in the Canadian Journal for Emergency Medicine found that during the course of the Stampede, emergency departments saw a 24 per cent increase in the diagnosis of substance misuse. The study found a general increase in emergency visits, with a sharper spike in visits at nighttime, and by men. Article content Sarah Rosenfeld is the associate director of counselling initiatives at the Calgary Counselling Centre. She said the key to navigating any event that has such an emphasis on consumption healthily, is to build out a support group of peers, who can check in with each other despite the pressure to participate. Article content Article content 'We kind of have a collective responsibility, in my opinion, to be able to look after one another, but we also need to be able to have the skills and knowledge to be able to navigate some of those more difficult situations because it can be hard to have those conversations, right? It can be hard to support people in the way that you think they might need to be helped,' Rosenfeld said. Article content Hanasyk said that those working around the city were particularly vulnerable to the Stampede wear and tear, due to incredibly long working hours. She said that multiple employees worked shifts longer than 20 hours straight, pushed by an ambiguity around the gratuity that they were owed at end of the night. With much of the income being dispersed in cash, she said it was impossible to know if you were being equally compensated unless you were there in person. Article content 'You're you're trying to manage competing priorities, right? So I think for some folks, that's a source of income as well that they wouldn't otherwise have access to,' Rosenfeld said.

Steve Madden's chief merchandising officer exits
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Karla Frieders, chief merchandising officer at Steve Madden, voluntarily resigned, effective June 30, according to a securities filing last week. Frieders' resignation from the footwear company was for personal reasons, per the filing, and was 'not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.' Steve Madden said in the filing that it doesn't plan to appoint a successor at this time. Instead, other members of the company's management will assume some of Frieders' responsibilities. Frieders spent more than 26 years at Steve Madden, beginning in 1999 as a buyer and merchandise manager, per her LinkedIn. Prior to spending nearly 10 years as chief merchandising officer, she spent almost three years as president of retail for the company. In the same securities filing, Steve Madden announced that board member Robert Smith was resigning from his director position after more than 11 years. Smith's exit is voluntary, per the filing, and he will leave 'to pursue another opportunity,' effective July 14. Following his departure, the company's board will reduce its size from 11 members to 10, per the filing. Steve Madden did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the departures. In its first quarter, Steve Madden posted revenue of $552.4 million, representing a 0.2% increase year over year. Company CEO and Chairman Edward Rosenfeld said in the earnings release that the company faced 'meaningful near-term headwinds and heightened uncertainty' as a result of the new tariffs imposed on imports into the United States. The company previously said it planned to reduce its dependence on China sourcing, and in its Q1 earnings call, Rosenfeld told analysts that it had already managed to accelerate that shift and move production to other countries. As a result, Rosenfeld said, the company would reduce its U.S. imports from China from 71% in 2024 to the mid-teens by fall 2025 and down to the mid-teens by spring 2026. Steve Madden also began 'selectively raising prices to consumers and wholesale customers,' said Rosenfeld, adding that the company has taken 'a surgical approach, raising prices by differing amounts and sometimes not at all, depending on the brand, product category and style.'

Israeli soldier killed in northern Gaza
Jerusalem, June 30 (UNI) An Israeli soldier was killed in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday, the Israeli military said. In a statement, the military said Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld, 20, of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion of the 401st Brigade, "fell during combat." Israel's state-owned Kan TV reported that Rosenfeld was killed by an explosive device in Jabalia, in an area where the military had begun demolishing buildings in preparation for constructing outposts as part of a planned buffer zone in northern Gaza. Since the beginning of June, 21 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the Gaza Strip, bringing the military's death toll to 880 since October 2023, according to official figures. Earlier on June 29, Palestinian sources reported heavy bombardments in northern Gaza, with at least 88 people killed and 365 wounded in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza health authorities. The strikes came as the Israeli military issued new evacuation warnings, calling on residents of Gaza City and Jabalia to move immediately toward the al-Mawasi area. Meanwhile, Gaza health authorities said yesterday that the Palestinian death toll from Israeli military operations since October 2023 had risen to at least 56,500. UNI XINHUA ARN

British Israeli soldier killed in Gaza, reports say
He was named locally as 20-year-old Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld from the city of Ra'anana. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said it is 'looking into reports that an IDF soldier who died in combat in Gaza is a British national'. The IDF soldier, of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, was killed by an explosive device on Sunday, the Times of Israel reported. The paper said Mr Rosenfeld moved to Israel from London with his family 11 years ago. Israel has been operating in Gaza since the Hamas militant group's October 7 2023 attack on Israel. More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war began, including more than 400 during the fighting in Gaza. US-led ceasefire efforts have repeatedly stalled. The Israeli offensive has devastated Gaza and killed more than 56,000 people, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, a branch of the Hamas government. The death toll is by far the highest in any round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.
