Tavern Break ins

Friday, December 30th, 2011

We have been contacted by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Department regarding a rash of Tavern break-ins ranging from Rhinelander to Antigo.  The culprits are looking for cash and are breaking into ATM’s, Video Poker Machines and Cash Registers; breaking windows and doors to gain entry in the early morning hours. 

Please remain alert and vigilant.  If you have video surveillance, please make sure it is turned on and contact your local Sheriff if you see anything suspicious.

Daylight Saving Time

S. 175.095(2), Wis. stats, states that Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00AM the second Sunday in March and ends at 2:00AM the first Sunday in November.
As such, clocks are set AHEAD one hour at 2:00AM the SECOND Sunday in March. Thus, taverns would close at 3:30AM Daylight Saving Time on this date (see s. 125.68(4)(c) Wis. Stats).
 On the FIRST Sunday in November, the clocks are set BACK an hour at 2:00AM; taverns gain an extra hour and must close at 2:30AM, Central Standard Time on this date.
