Major Bloomington properties tied to Jeff Jones sell for $9.5 million

Two major properties formerly owned by notorious Bloomington landlord Jeff S. Jones have changed ownership for a combined $9.5 million. A Bloomington-based limited liability company called Magnolia Park, owned by Bloomington residents Narayan and Veronica Silwal, has bought former Jones properties on the city's west and northeastern sides. Transactions in October included the 54-unit Shamrock Pointe apartment complex on McCracken Way, in northeastern Bloomington, and the commercial/residential property at 3939 W. Roll Ave., on the city’s west side, where Jones had based his company, Pendragon Properties, which dates back to the 1980s. Magnolia Park LLC bought the Shamrock complex for $7.5 million and the west side property for $2 million, according to local property records. Magnolia Park was formed in August, roughly two months before the acquisitions closed, according to state records. Before the purchases, the Silwals’ known Monroe County real-estate holdings consisted primarily of condominiums on South Cramer Circle, in Batchelor Heights. Jones, who last year agreed to sell his Bloomington rental properties as part of a settlement with the city, has had disputes with city officials for years. In August and September 2018, city inspectors documented more than 1,800 violations at three of Jones’ Bloomington apartment complexes. A

Senior seldomly comes off field for Bloomington South football

BLOOMINGTON — Jonathan Winstead got a late break on the football season. Luckily for Bloomington South, the senior gets up to speed rather quickly. The excuse was a good one, as Winstead patrolled center field for the Panthers' state runner-up baseball team, which finished its season at Victory Field on June 20. He had to wash the bad taste of that loss out of his mouth, then got to work earning his spot on offense as a returning wide receiver. But instead of backing up the quarterback position again, head coach Gabe Johnson decided one of his best ballhawks could help out on the defensive side as well. His speed also worked well as a return man on punts. "I love it. I don't want to be off the field," Winstead said. "I would play every single play if I could. But the thing is, we've got depth and we've got other guys who deserve to be out here. They work hard for their reps, too. "So it's nice to have that depth so I can take step back and know that Kevin (Reeves) at cornerback has my back and when I'm on offense, Mayson (Lewis) is at X and

Bloomington South girls basketball win over North completes county sweep

Just two weeks into the season and the Bloomington South girls basketball team has vanquished it's two county rivals. The annual meeting with Bloomington North was pushed up a month earlier than in the past, with the Cougars needing to adjust their schedule as new members of the Mid-State Conference. So it was a great early-season introduction to a sectional-like atmosphere for both teams in front of a vocal crowd at South on Thursday, Nov. 12. Offense was hard to come by as the Panthers held off a second-half rally by North, getting a huge 3-pointer from freshman Quinn Wurtzman with 2:10 left in a five-point game to pull out a 48-37 win. It followed a much less rowdy 62-20 rout of Edgewood on Tuesday. More: Senior seldomly comes off field for Bloomington South football "We knew it was going to be a great crowd," North coach Kiley Jarrett said. "That's what we wanted. We wanted to simulate a playoff atmosphere and that's what it was. "I just think we just got in too big of a hole in the first half. We fought like hell to get it back within five points and a just a couple possessions here

Did USC football team fly to Indiana before nationwide ground stop?

USC football will need its air attack to be effective against the Indiana Hoosiers , but before the game starts, the Trojans need to get to the game site.

So does Chris Vannini of The Athletic . Vannini reports that USC's plane did leave LA before the ground stop, so USC- Indiana will go on as scheduled on Saturday.

Why there was 'never thought' center would sit out Indiana basketball win after stitches

BLOOMINGTON — Indiana basketball's starter center Samet Yigitoglu scored a game-high 18 points in Thursday night's 90-66 win over Tennessee Tech despite missing an extended stretch in the first half. After scoring on IU's first three trips down the floor in the opening minutes, Yigitoglu got hit as he went up for another shot and stayed back under his own basket as play continued. The contact opened up a gash around his right eye, and he had to press a towel against his head to stop the bleeding as he walked back to the locker room. Yigitoglu spent the entire time with the trainers getting stitched up — about 10 minutes of game time — just itching to get back on the floor. "Even when I was bad, I was thinking I'm going to be back," Yigitoglu said. "I never thought I was going to miss the game. I was ready to go." The officials reviewed the play that left Yigitoglu shaken up for a flagrant foul, but announced it was just "incidental contact." He received an ovation from the crowd at Assembly Hall when walked up to the scorer's table with 7:14 left in the first half. Yigitoglu, who
