"Football fans who look in the sky Saturday before the Wolverine's showdown with Purdue may catch a glimpse of a banner that's a little different from the birthday wishes and car dealership ads typically flown over the home game crowd.

Scio Township resident Linda Weiss, 72, has commissioned an airplane banner to get across the message: Kids deserve fresh air, too.

Weiss paid $400 for the plane-towed ad to kick off a campaign she hopes to raise awareness about pesticides commonly applied in neighborhoods. She says the pesticides contain toxins that can hurt people, and she specifically wants to raise awareness to protect children."
