We would like to congratulate Heather Martin as the Village of Wrightstown's Employee of the Month for March!
Heather has been a dedicated member of the Village of Wrightstown team for over
thirteen years and celebrates her village anniversary on April 30th. Heather continues
to be a tremendous asset to the organization. She plays a key role in the operation of
the police department, leading investigations and performing many other leadership
tasks. Heather is always willing to pitch in when needed, which is why she is nominated
for this month's employee of the month. She dedicated many hours to supporting the
clerks' staff through employee interviews and elections, and stepped in to lead the
department through the transition of chiefs. This is why Heather is our March Employee
of the Month!

As warmer weather returns to Wrightstown and surrounding communities, more residents are taking advantage of local trails and rural roads with ATVs and UTVs. With that increase in activity comes a higher risk of injury, making this a good time to focus on safe riding practices.
ATV and UTV accidents are among the more common causes of serious trauma in rural Wisconsin. Many incidents involve rollovers, collisions, or ejections, often resulting in head injuries, broken bones, or other life-threatening conditions. In more severe cases, patients may require rapid transport to higher-level trauma centers, sometimes by air, to receive the care they need.
The good news is that many of these injuries are preventable.
Key Safety Tips:
Wear a Helmet Every Ride
Helmets significantly reduce the risk of head injury. Even short trips or rides on familiar property can be dangerous without proper protection.
Ride Sober
Alcohol and recreational vehicles are a dangerous combination. Impaired judgment and slower reaction times greatly increase the risk of a crash.
Know Your Machine
ATVs and UTVs handle differently than cars or trucks. Take time to understand how your vehicle turns, brakes, and responds on different terrain.
Stay Within Your Limits
Excessive speed and uneven terrain are common causes of rollovers. Ride at a safe speed and avoid unnecessary risks.
Supervise Young Riders
Children should only operate age-appropriate vehicles and always be supervised. Adult-sized machines are not designed for younger riders.
Accidents can happen in an instant, especially in rural areas where distance, terrain, and access can impact how quickly patients reach definitive care. When emergencies do occur, local EMS, fire departments, and regional critical care resources work together to ensure patients receive timely, appropriate care based on the severity of their injuries. Wrightstown's trails/roads are meant to be enjoyed. By riding smart, staying alert, and following a few simple safety precautions, you can help ensure every ride ends safely.
