Peppina's is a pizza eatery in Roselands in South Sydney that is located in a car park setting crisp bases with a range of unique toppings with beef and lamb replacing pork to make the pizzas halal There's also a new branch of Peppina's in nearby Sandringham but which one should you go to My friend Sophia loves a particular type of pizza It has a super thin base that is crisp on the bottom (no wet bases for her) And Peppina is one of her favourite pizza restaurants for this very reason She has also visited here a few times as well as the new Sandringham eat-in restaurant and she prefers the pizza here at the original place because she found them oilier and softer at the new branch The menu at both is similar but the Sandringham branch is more a sit down restaurant while this is more a warehouse with some outdoor seating So that's how we have ended up at the original Roselands branch of Peppina pizza sitting at tables and chairs in the pebble filled edge of a car park Sophia has pre ordered the pizzas and they're a good price with each pizza around $22 or $20 for a classic margarita with the seafood pizza the most expensive at $28 Between the two of us we have ordered 3 pizzas with the intention to take some home with us We have arrived early at just before 6pm to nab one of the 4 tables The owners of Peppina pizza are childhood best friends Armand Nariman and James Gulli the latter who was formerly the co-owner and head chef at Pizza Madre in Marrickville The pizzeria shares a counter with Duo Duo ice cream Peppina's is named after James's nonna Peppina and was inspired by her cooking The first pizza I try is the Lombardia with a mild gorgonzola cream fondue sauce The gorgonzola is super mild and doesn't have that hit on the back of your throat that you can get with some blue cheeses and it blends so perfectly with the sweet caramelised onions crunchy walnuts and light sprinkling of thyme "I knew you'd like that," says Sophia who knows my love of rich food And when I take a bite into the base I can hear the crispness in each bite I really wanted the Calabrese because I love nduja but Sophia can't eat much chilli so she wants the Salamino instead which they assured her was mildly spicy The pizza bases are super thin as promised and crisp even with the slightly wetter tomato base I thought I'd like this pizza the most but I think I prefer the other two Sophia's favourite is the potato and sausage with a twist All the pizzas have beef instead of pork to make them halal friendly and this sausage is not Italian pork sausage but lamb sausage with confit garlic The real stand out flavours are the confit garlic with the lamb sausage although you do have to love the flavour of lamb for this one By the time we leave the other tables are filling up so we head elsewhere for some dessert on this warm spring night Would you choose the branch with the restaurant seating or the one with the pizza that you like Vicinity Centres is on track to divesting some $250 million in assets this financial year starting with a half-stake in a west Sydney mall Roselands – marketed as the southern hemisphere’s biggest shopping centre when it opened 60 years ago – is trading for $145 million the group will also collect fees and derive an income managing it The deal comes three years since Challenger’s CIP Asset Management sold the other half interest to JY Group for $167m – a 20pc premium to its then book value ($139m) assuming a 6.25 per cent capitalisation rate Roselands holds significant mixed use development upside – on 14.3 hectares it contains c63,300 square metres (story continues below) It was Sydney’s first regional shopping centre, according to CBRE marketing agent, Simon Rooney Vicinity recently announced it planned to sell $250m in product – about half the value of what it shed last financial year behind two sector-specific REITs – with at least two more in the works Also connecting with private wholesale and institutional investors – many which are picking this time as a trough in the market – it is aiming to control $50 billion by 2030 The manager sells from its various trusts too – including last week for $7.2m – a yield of just over six per cent Subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of this page A former property analyst and print journalist Marc is the publisher of realestatesource.com.au Forgot your password?

handful of seating options which is more lively table and banquette seating; and then there’s the smaller rear lounge area which is quieter and more removed from the action My wife and I chose to eat

biggest hits of the evening was the The Julius Caesar salad – it was plentiful I opted not to get one of the tantalizing sandwiches I ordered one of the scratch pastas – the Flat #12 Mushrooms

anyways because everyone’s palates react differently I was beyond pleased with my dish and would definitely order it again The only problem is that there are so many tempting menu items to choose from that it might take awhile before I go back to the ones that I’ve already tried Another winner at the table was the Brussel sprout gratin (baked with parmesan cheese in truffled cream sauce The sprouts were cooked exactly to my liking our trio of diners felt that Roseland’s Atlas would definitely become a solid restaurant go-to in the future especially because they are open for lunch and dinner Some

should be considered if you’re wavering on ordering a dessert or not With all of the turbulence in the restaurant scene as of late the opening of Roseland’s Atlas could not have come at a better time

independently owned and operated digital publication Buffalo Rising provides editorial and critical reviews on all topics that relate to Buffalo Click Here to Share Your Story Just three months into a contract with Roseland Community Hospital the interim director of revenue says she was abruptly removed from her position for what she describes as retaliation for alerting hospital leadership of fraud and mismanagement Cecelia Harrison further alleges that the hospital refuses to pay her for services performed She has since drafted a petition on Change.org calling for the state county or a hospital system to provide oversight and to take over duties from the current board of directors which runs a foundation that advises the hospital which had nearly 580 signers at the time of this article’s publication She said that after the petition reaches 1,000 signatures she plans to take the concerns to Congresswoman Robin Kelly (D-Ill) to bring emergency state oversight to the facility “I also noticed that there were no contracts with providers the hospital’s now-former interim revenue director She was referring to the findings she reported to the board while in her contracted position “If you have a provider in your hospital and they don’t have a contract with you to determine their task and what they’re responsible for – and what you may be liable for versus what they’re liable for –  it creates a risky situation.”  Harrison provided The TRiiiBE with contract documents that she maintains are signed by both her company ReveNewCycle These documents outline the scope of work and the agreed-upon amounts due for work performed Concerns of neglectful behavior at Roseland Community Hospital are not new. A 2022 investigation by ProPublica and WTTW showed that errors or neglect at the institution has led to the deaths of several patients since 2020 Federal regulators have cited the hospital at least 72 times since 2017 more than any other hospital in Illinois at the time Harrison’s petition draws on both these past criticisms and her own recent financial audits in concluding that the hospital is a “danger to the community.” It goes on to list seven points of alleged misconduct including patient deaths due to violating the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) a federal law that requires facilities that receive Medicare to serve all patients regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status Her petition also regurgitates pre-existing complaints such as: the employment of providers previously found guilty of federal violations; a lack of medications and basic supplies; and fraudulent billing and retaliation against whistleblowers Signers of the petition are asking for local government to take multiple actions to remedy fraud Those five suggested steps include oversight and intervention by the Illinois Department of Public Health and Gov Pritzker; an emergency financial and operational audit by a community medical center and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul; replacing leadership and restructuring the nonprofit board at Roseland Community Hospital; transitioning management of the hospital to a trusted institution such as the University of Chicago Medical Center; and creating a community oversight board to ensure public accountability It took only four months to get to this place her firm was contracted to source her as the interim director of revenue at the hospital Her job was to find revenue sources for the hospital who is also a resident of the Roseland community said she found cases in which the hospital had “identified multiple high-dollar unbilled accounts.” The accounts exceeded “$300,000 that were sitting in limbo with no documented plan for resolution and [Harrison says she] initiated review processes to ensure timely billing,” according to a list of deliverables that Harrison says she sent to the hospital chairman and board of directors they have thousands of records that are not signed and we can’t be reimbursed for them,” said Harrison “I also found that the documentation was highly deficient It did not speak to the issues.There weren’t any definitive diagnoses which means that we had a lot of denials for admissions [and] a lot of premature admissions.”Harrison said she would offer presentations to the doctors on how to properly fill out documentation but that her efforts “fell on our deaf ears.” According to the March 24 termination letter shared with The TRiiBE the hospital’s board decided to end the contract with Harrison The letter does not clearly state why Harrison’s contract was terminated “Due to a dearth of work product produced by your company thus far (including any meaningful deliverables of any kind) no Performance-Bonus Compensation will be paid to your company.” According to the service agreement letter shared with The TRiiBE either party could terminate the agreement upon 30 day’s notice with or without cause It should be noted that Harrison’s petition went live four days after her termination Harrison has said the petition is a response to being ignored by the hospital’s leadership with the findings in her analysis and not a result of being fired.“This is what they’re known to do,” Harrison said if you report or make a complaint about something you gone.” Harrison also said that she notified Ald Anthony Beale (9th Ward) and Illinois State Senator Emil Jones III (D-14th) on March 10 Representatives for Beale said that he was not providing comments on the petition as he is continuing to get more information from the community and will respond accordingly Jones did not respond to requests for comment Roseland Community Hospital agreed to “pay the consultant for all accrued fees and costs up to the Termination Date including payment for all hours worked (both regular and overtime) prior to termination.” The agreement also states that confidentiality has to remain in effect even with the expiration of the agreement.“I want to be paid I definitely want to be paid my money,” said Harrison I’m a small community-owned business you’re not gonna pay me until I do something for you.’ You don’t know that’s illegal?” Hospital leadership did not respond to requests for comment but in a letter with a subject line: “Re: Termination of Consulting Agreement // Cease and Desist,” provided to The TRiiBE by Harrison names Attorney Ronald Sandack as the sender and further states that Harrison’s claims are “inaccurate and wrongful accusations.” Sandack’s office did not return phone calls to The TRiiBE Harrison also alleges that Roseland Community Hospital owes her back pay totaling over $20,000 and the institution has refused to pay her until she removes the petition In the April 2 cease and disease letter sent by Sandack to ReveNewCycle the hospital’s representation allegedly states the following: “This communication — again — seeks the discontinuation of your efforts to bad-mouth and disparage the Hospital the Hospital will not pay your invoices until and unless you remove the above reference online petition and execute a contemporaneous release promising to abide by your confidentiality promises and cease your public tantrums If you are unwilling to cease your wrongful activities in addition to withholding payment of your invoices the Hospital will take appropriate legal action against you for your improper actions.”Harrison says she is determined for the change to come at Roseland Community Hospital.“My goal,” she says “is to get this hospital the emergency oversight that is needed.” Subscribe to The TRiiBE Weekly to receive top stories and movement calls-to-action delivered straight to

Yet another Sonoma County school district is discussing closing one of its campuses to address a budget deficit one of Roseland School District’s two college preparatory charter high schools is “pretty much a done deal,” Roseland Superintendent Raul Guerrero said the district is experiencing a $5.1 million dollar deficit About $2 million of that comes from operating costs at Roseland Collegiate Prep The north Santa Rosa campus drains significantly more money from the district than its other two charter schools because of transportation property insurance and loan costs for the site which has experienced declining enrollment “Just about every district is affected (by school closures) and we’re not immune,” Guerrero said during an April 16 Roseland regular school board meeting Roseland Collegiate Prep won’t close for another 15 months giving the district time to plan for the closure and to relocate more than half of the school’s 416 seventh through 12th grade students to the district’s two other charter schools Roseland Accelerated Middle School and Roseland University Prep the Roseland charter and public boards of trustees will discuss how to move the students from Roseland Collegiate onto the Roseland University campus in southwest Santa Rosa The two school boards typically operate independently The charter board will ultimately make the final decision on the fate of the school However the charter board must work with the public board because the two remaining charter schools are on Roseland public school campuses Roseland Accelerated Middle School school is on the Roseland Creek Elementary campus and Roseland University shares space with Shepard Elementary School The physical space at the public schools will likely need to change to accommodate Roseland Collegiate students The public school board has begun discussing ways to expand capacity at those sites The feasibility of those options will then be presented to the charter board “The dialogue between the two (school boards) is extensive open and collegial,” said Ricardo Navarette “There is a single minded focus on making the best educational decisions for the Roseland community even if there are varied opinions — as there should be — as challenges present themselves.” They were first presented at an April 9 charter board meeting and again at a public board meeting on April 16 The district’s Chief Business Officer presented the scenarios with context from Ryland Strategic Business Consulting group which presented data gathered through a financial analysis of the charter district The first scenario assumes no students will transfer from Roseland Collegiate into another Roseland charter school That would create an additional loss of funding primarily through state money the district gets based on a school’s daily enrollment The other scenario examines what it will take to retain the Roseland Collegiate students at the district’s two other schools by increasing physical capacity “Our commitment is to try and facilitate as many students as we can to bring them back to the Roseland area,” Guerrero said A majority of the students at Roseland Collegiate are high schoolers and would transition to Roseland University Prep the flagship campus for the charter district’s college preparatory academic model Through immediate expansion efforts — relocating portable classrooms — the district estimates it can create space for about 220 Roseland Collegiate students at Roseland University The district already purchased four new portables in December 2024 They are located on the Roseland Collegiate campus There are currently about 100 middle schoolers at the Collegiate campus That number will be cut in half next school year because the Collegiate campus will no longer accept incoming seventh graders 24 more spots — 12 for seventh graders and 12 for eighth graders — will be added to the Roseland Accelerated Middle School campus The district would have to increase class sizes which is dependent on renegotiating with the teacher’s union which maintains much of the charter district’s current enrollment the district would immediately enter a budget surplus after closing the school about an additional $1.6 million could be reallocated to the two other charter schools That number would continue to increase in the following two school years but it will significantly reduce deficit spending and keep the district from fiscal insolvency through June 2029 Neither scenario takes into account increased funding from the sale of the Roseland Collegiate property The school was purchased in 2017 from the Sisters of Ursuline which owned the land that once housed a Catholic girls school The cost of financing the purchase and increased insurance payments have left the district struggling with a heavy financial burden that will only increase when a balloon payment kicks in next year Once the plan for what happens after the closure is finalized the Roseland Charter trustees will vote to close the school and to approve their next steps Based on the timeline outlined in the district’s presentation leaders will work to appraise and sell the Roseland Collegiate property next month the district will finalize staff layoffs before March 2026 Report For America corps member Adriana Gutierrez covers education

Tuesday was to dash the hopes of Roseland residents for a mayor from their neighborhood she supported eastside resident Mark Stapp who was selected to serve as Santa Rosa mayor for the next two years For the dozens of Roseland residents in the audience They arrived early and expressed strong support for Alvarez Anna Diaz of the Roseland Public Schools Board of Trustees was elected board president for 2025 by a majority of board members The board now has three Latina members among its five members Two newly sworn-in members joined the vote to replace the previous board president a proud father of a young child not yet in the school system both Alvarez and Diaz attended two significant meetings impacting Roseland Both are founding members of the Roseland Business Association (RBA) which has been meeting at Sazon Peruvian Restaurant More than a dozen Roseland business owners have been preparing to negotiate with Santa Rosa officials about issues negatively affecting their businesses Chief among their concerns is competition from unlicensed food vendors operating along the Sebastopol Rd which competes directly with established restaurants Business owners paying rent for their establishments feel it is unfair for tamale vendors and taco trucks to park wherever they want and sell without licenses Members of the RBA plan to address both city and county governments about these concerns Sonoma County officials have been criticized for allowing the Mitote Food Court to operate on county land within the Roseland Village Shopping Center RBA members argue that food trucks at Mitote benefit from an unfair advantage while drawing business away from established Roseland businesses They also note that the exclusive operating agreement for the food court is not with a Roseland resident Alvarez also proposed renaming the roadway from Olive St He and Diaz believe this change would better reflect the heart of the community than the current name They also feel it would make it easier for visitors to locate Roseland while fostering pride in the area The Roseland name is expanding beyond its traditional boundaries as evidenced by Santa Rosa Junior College naming its new campus two miles away in the Wright District the Roseland campus The second meeting Alvarez and Diaz attended that night was also in the Wright District was held at the Becoming Independent offices on Northpoint Parkway It began with congratulations and recognition for those involved in the project Alvarez hosted the meeting on behalf of the city of Santa Rosa located in the Bellevue District near Ray’s Food Center at the corner of Dutton Ave includes a new fire station and a library branch to be named the Roseland Regional Library grandmother and I boarded a train at Gosford on the NSW Central Coast for a trip to the big smoke We were headed to Roselands; the biggest “shopping-community centre” in the southern hemisphere One journalist gushed that it was “in some important ways more advanced than anything in the United States” Originally the land on which Roselands sat had been part of the estate of local businessman John Fenwick He owned a large home on the property – Belmore House (1883) – surrounded by beautiful rose gardens Grace Brothers purchased the site and construction of the shopping centre began shiny and as modern as the future; a three-level air-conditioned “town” that was home to more than 1500 employees Roselands featured its own town hall for meetings and wedding receptions a rooftop entertainment zone (The Carnival Top) with a bandstand and mini-golf course theatrically named Roselands Theatre Beautiful the largest by far was Grace Brothers (now Myer) who were behind the project Others included a Coles New World supermarket The centre even had its own post office, where you were encouraged to “post a letter from Roselands just for the sheer fun of it – today!”. Obviously in the mid-1960s, recreational stamp licking was a thing. Most spectacular of all was the Raindrop Fountain. Comprising miles of clear nylon thread, down which cascaded drops of water, it was the most magical thing we’d ever seen. So magical in fact, my grandmother had one of her “turns” and needed to sit down beside the “fashion pool” at the bottom. Roselands also laid claim to Australia’s first food court. Sydney had never seen anything like it. The “Four Corners Gourmet” as it was  known was supposed to represent cuisine from all four corners of the globe – although a few of those corners seemed to have been cut. Kitchens included Continental Corner, The London Roast, Whistling Oyster, Chuck Wagon, and the Jolly Giant. There were more than 100 items on the menu including chicken cacciatore, cherry pie, clam chowder, hot pickled pork, and, inexplicably, an Indian duck curry from the Red Dragon Chinese. When NSW premier Robert Askin opened Roselands on October 11, 1965, he enthused that it “brought the city to the suburbs in a glittering way that must rival even the fabled Persian bazaars”.  Visit Roselands shopping centre today and the first thing you notice is how quaint it is, compared to its mega-mall rivals that have sprung up around Sydney. Over the years, all traces of the centre’s retro-fabulous interior have been removed, including the glorious Raindrop Fountain. And nobody serves clam chowder at the food court anymore. At the time it was built, Roselands was part of Punchbowl. It wasn’t until 1987 that Roselands became a suburb in its own right. Surrounding the mall, Roselands is a quintessential Sydney suburbia of red brick and tile; of telephone poles, Mazda 3s, gum trees, stencilcrete driveways, and bottle brush wilting along the council verge. The population stands at 80,000, of which Lebanese people comprise the most foreign born at about 5 per cent. Georgia Smith has lived in the area for five years and says she loves being part of a close-knit community. “There’s a lot of young families in the area, and we all get on and look out for each other,” she says. “There’s also plenty of parks for the kids to play in, and a couple of nice cafes.” As for convenience to public transport, Smith concedes that Roselands is not the best. “We’re split between two train lines,” she says. “I drive and park near the station at Beverley Hills or Kingsgrove, and catch the train from there. It’s about a 30-minute trip to the city. Our closest beach is Brighton.

the entire Roseland property “I really did want to use that word (betrayal) but I thought it was a little too insulting “I wish I would have used it because it is insulting — we feel like we’ve been betrayed.” Barresi said the clubhouse should be demolished and acknowledged it has no heritage value But he believes the “land underneath it” received heritage designation in 2003 for a reason and should have retained its protected status City council’s decision to lift heritage designation from the 47-year-old clubhouse building and parking lot neither of which have historically significant

March 2024 sparked immediate backlash from area residents who collected hundreds of signatures on a petition against the project she told council the entire area has history and she urged councillors to leave the Roseland property’s heritage status alone “What is to stop this or a future council from seeing opportunities to convert the golf course to cash?” Archer asked She left council chambers in tears after the vote walking past reporters for the city hall exit “To say I am disappointed is an understatement but I feel we gave it our best shot,” she wrote on social media that evening “This mayor/council will move on … but we will have to live with this historic decision for the rest of our lives Voting to maintain heritage designation for the entire Roseland property were councillors Fred Francis (Ward 1) Fabio Costante (Ward 2) and Angelo Marignani (Ward 7) Voting to remove designation were Mayor Drew Dilkens “The building’s falling apart,” Kieran McKenzie said “It’s in a state where if we don’t address some of the challenges there’s going to have to be serious investments in that building — a building we know we need to take down “There’s urgency with respect to the timeline here who represents the neighbourhood and opposes residential development on Roseland property said “a bad precedent” was being set in removing heritage designation from part of the land but what I know is the people don’t want this “I’m not here to tell the people they’re wrong and I’m right especially when I believe in what they’re doing and I believe in their arguments and I believe in their cause.” Mayor Dilkens told reporters the clubhouse should be demolished by the end of this year after golf season wraps up “It’s basically not utilized today anymore A new clubhouse will likely go up next year It could be built in conjunction with a housing development but only if council agrees on a future housing development proposal “This is not about trying to shoehorn anything in,” he
