Trowbridge claims he walked for 47
straight days to "meet the people" and
said he visited 5,636 homes.
COLBURN, a former Mayor Pro
Tem, said he was very pleased with his
showing, especially because "we spent
less money than many of the other can-
didates.
"For a grass-roots campaign, in
which I received no money from any of
the special interest groups, I think I ran
a very strong and spirited campaign,"
Colburn said.
Colburn said he had not yet decided
whether to contest the results and ask
for a recount.
IF THE RESULTS are certified,
Trowbridge will face Democrat Ed-
ward Pierce in the November election
to replace retiring State Sen. Gilbert
Bursley. Bursley, a Republican, served
in the state legislature for 16 years.
Pierce trounced Ypsilanti Mayor
George Goodman by more than a 2-1
margin.
Trowbridge said he expects a close
battle with Pierce, but added the cam-
paign would be fought between two
political rivals who greatly respect
each other.

About 90 people have already signed
the petition. Livesay pickets every day
from 1:00 p.m. to5:30, the time in which
she hopes to stop the most passersby.

son's does not carry furs anymore, but
Livesay was not sure it was due to her
picketing.
Livesay said she has not been con-
fronted by very many people who
disagree with her protest. She has even
received a few offers to help picket.
"People don't stop to talk if they
disagree. If they do stop to disagree,
they tell you it's all malarky. They think
the animals are all farmed. If you ask
the trappers, they'll tell you the traps
aren't even cruel," she said.
August is apparently a bad time to try
to organize fellow picketers so Livesay
has been handing this project alone.
"We had no advance notice of this sale.
You just have to scramble," she asser-
ted.
Livesay talked with Jacobson's
manager Alan Mandel about the
problem, and he told her he wasn't sure
the animals were trapped. Mandel
refused to comment further.
