The Alabamans, discussing their divestiture plans with the state Racing Board, received word that seven businessmen headed by Domenick Tirabassi Jr. offered to buy the Alabamans' 37.5 percent of the track for $18.5 million. The businessmen from Racine and Kenosha already own 1.9 percent and would like to control 51 percent, the Milwaukee Sentinel reported. Joseph Madrigano of Kenosha, an investor in Gateway Development Partners which had bid unsuccessfully in 1989 for a pari-mutuel license, was quoted as saying he would protest the Tirabassi offer when it is reviewed today by the Racing Board. The board had given the Alabamans until 5 p.m.

Thursday to arrange a sale or risk having their share placed in trusteeship. Terence Dunleavy, the board's executive director, said attorneys for the Alabamans objected to the trustee alternative. "We seek to have a totally independent trustee and they're looking for more protections," Dunleavy said of the attorneys representing Herman Maisel, his son Elliot Mai-sel, Harold W. Ripps and Ripps' brother-in-law Herbert Meisler. In July, Dunleavy recommended revocation of Dairyland's license unless the four withdrew.

Inspectors accused the Alabama investors of manipulating profits, concealing records and intimidating witnesses. has Increased by 25.2 over the of January 1 of each year WSJ graphic Investigators have not determined the exact cause of the fire, but they said they believe it was started by "children and fire play," Olshanski said.

1 Hwy. 51 bypass tops road list A four-lane bypass for Highway 51 at Tomahawk tops the list of Wisconsin highway construction projects for 1996-97, officials told a state commission Wednesday. The bypass project moved ahead of other projects for safety and economic reasons, said Ronald Fiedler, state transportation secretary. The project involves widening from two lanes to four lanes 9.3 miles of the state's major highway to the North Woods. The Transportation Projects Commission is to act on the recommendations in November for the 1991-93 state budget.

Ranked second by Fiedler was the 6.7-mile Highway 12 bypass at Whitewater. Third was the Highway 76 connector between Appleton and Greenville at Highway 41. Wright Two Frank Lloyd Wright houses have been nominated for recognition as international landmarks by agencies in the U.S. Department of the Interior. Taliesen, in Spring Green, and Taliesen-West, in Scottsdale, have been nominated to the World Heritage Committee, an international body in Paris.

Other World Heritage landmarks include the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall. The committee works to recognize and protect properties of international significance, said Eve Galanter, an aide to Sen. Herb Kohl, who coordinated efforts for the nomination. There are fewer than 100 World Heritage landmarks, she said. "The prestige will be of enormous value to the United States and Wisconsin," Galanter said.

"This would help promote fund-raising efforts with Wright homes and would confer the status on this property that it clearly deserves." The committee will receive the nomination at its October meeting, Galanter said. It will make the final decision on the nomination in October 1991. Esker sentence: A former dairy princess convicted of murdering a young woman in a love spat over a dairy farmer "truly believes she ought to be punished," her lawyer said Thursday.

Apartment fire linked to children Children playing with fire are believed responsible for a Thursday afternoon blaze that caused $100,000 in damage to a Simpson Street apartment building, Madison firefighters say. Firefighters were called to the 1717 Simpson St. fire about 1:40 p.m.

after resident Dawn Sanger made an unsuccessful attempt to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher, said fire Lt. Tom 01-shanski. Sanger, 26, was taken by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation. Sanger, who is pregnant, also was checked for abdominal pain before being released.

The fire, which started in the bedroom of Sanger's ground-floor apartment, destroyed her apartment and caused smoke damage throughout the 30-unit building, Olshanski said. Fifteen apartments were evacuated overnight for cleaning, he said.
