Salisbury: Dan Mahoney, owner of Moe's Package Store on Plum Island, pictured, stopped on Route One in Salisbury Thursday morning seeing a snapping turtle trying to cross the busy road. He tried to move the angry reptile out of harms way and got it to the side of the road, but apparently the turtle was heading back to Town Creek after likely laying eggs on the other side of the road. David Brocher saw the activity and stopped, grabbed the turtle from behind and brought it across back to the creek. The Middle Road, Newbury resident sees about 20 turtles a year near his home and is accustomed to picking them up and moving them to safety. Bryan Eaton/Staff Photo
