Carolyn Starks writes in Sunday April 5, 2009 Chicago Tribune:
Illinois' second largest colony of Blanding's turtles needs to cross a newly built 4 lane Algonquin Road, speed limit 40 MPH. The Illinois Dept of Natural Resources (IDNR) has put up "Turtle Crossing" signs to warn motorists.
It seems people are getting out of their cars to help the turtles and it seems many folks are putting them back where they started.
Carolyn ends her piece with a quote from Keith Shank of the IDNR, "For heaven's sake, if someone's going to help the turtles, help it cross the road to where it was going."
