The town also favored Ed Markey over Seth Moulton in the Senate primary and helped shape statewide tickets for governor, attorney general, and other offices, with local tallies listed for several contested races.
   

• Tiny turtles on the march, a highway bridge mishap, and a wild pool party (bostonglobe.com) — A recent regional police-log roundup includes a Wilmington incident where a caller reported a white Dodge Durango at the Savers lot on Main Street, fearing one man was being restrained by others.
