Monroe County commissioners hire attorney for legal action over Stinesville ICE agreement

Monroe County commissioners voted unanimously at their regular Thursday (Nov. 12) meeting to approve a legal-services agreement with Bloomington attorney Larry Allen. The work that Allen will do is in connection with a lawsuit that asks the Monroe County circuit court to clarify whether Stinesville’s police department can sign an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without approval from the town’s elected board.

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

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

Mary Lee Wesner: What a life so far — and still going!

MARTINSVILLE — In 1947, Mary Lee Wesner and her husband Eugene “Gene” Wesner were married and living in Indianapolis. Gene was a farm kid from Greene County, and he knew that he could not continue to live in the big city, even though his engineering job at U.S. Rubber Co. — later known as Uniroyal — made it difficult to live too far away from his office.

“Pack a Really Good Defense”: Brian Kelly Wants USC to Repeat Two Key Successes from Previous Win as He Predicts Victory Over Indiana

Indiana-Syracuse basketball draws just 5K fans. 'Depressing'

Indiana and Syracuse are brand names in men's college basketball — and a rematch of the 1987 national championship game. Both teams entered Monday's game in Indianapolis unbeaten, marking the first power conference game for each school in the early portion of the 2026-27 season. And it was in a nearly empty Gainbridge Fieldhouse. In-depth: Scrutinized Syracuse-Indiana attendance shows college sports misses most valuable point Week 1’s biggest winners, losers: College basketball wasted no time getting wild The home to the Indiana Pacers has a capacity of 17,274. Monday's attendance was listed at 5,047. And that may have even been generous. Indiana has more than 20 high school gyms that could have fit that many fans, with spare change . In 49 states it's just basketball... Crowd at tipoff here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse pic.twitter.com/5yJI3C1I0f — Michael Niziolek (@michaelniziolek) November 9, 2026 There are plenty of reasons for the light crowd: Indiana has missed seven of the past nine NCAA tournaments. Syracuse has missed five straight. So it's not exactly a marquee product. Some will point to the 6:30 p.m. Monday tip time as a deterrent. Really the ticket prices were likely the main culprit with second level seats going for
