TCT sale meeting
Saturday in Basin
BY KARLA POMEROY
A special meeting of the
Tri County Telephone Co-
operative will be held at 10
a.m. this Saturday, Dec. 20,
in Basin at the TCT shop.
Finalization of the
counting of the votes for the
sale of the company will oc-
cur at this time, with people
having until 10 a.m. to cast
votes or to change votes.
TCT CEO Chris David-
son said they will be check-
ing mail that morning to get
any ballots in the mail and
there will be someone at
the Cody office in case bal-
lots are dropped off Satur-
day morning. Ballots can be
brought to the meeting prior
to 10 a.m.
Also at the meeting
there will be the vote for the
oversight committee. There
are 20 members nominated.
The election of the oversight
committee will only be nec-
essary if the sale of TCT is
approved, Davidson said.
All votes cast will be
counted and a member does
not need to be present at Sat-
urday's meeting in order for
his/her vote to be counted.
Davidson said he is hop-
ing that the elections com-
mittee and the board will
allow the votes to be made
public.
The Big Horn County
commissioners voted Tues-
day on the TCT transaction.
Alr some discussion about
all the information they have
received from different sides
and asking for input, the
commissioners voted unani-
mously to cast a "no" vote for
the county. One main con-
cern expressed by all three
commissioners was the in-
formation from the Save Our
Co-op committee that the
price is not a fair price.
The county, if the trans-
action goes through, would
receive about $13,000 from
the 911 lines in Burlington
and Hyattville.
The Big Horn County
School District No. 1 Board
of Trustees voted "no" on the
transaction at its November
board meeting.
According to business
manager Richard Parker,
the district would receive
$280,000 if the transaction
goes through. He said the
district would have to ear-
mark the funds for a specif-
ic project, otherwise it would
be turned back to the state
to be considered as part of
the district's overall general
fund funding model.
Two holiday performances
left for local-school districts
Most of the local Christmas concerts have been per-
formed in North Big Horn County, but there are still two
events to be staged by local schools.
The Lovell Middle School music performance class
will present a play at 7 p.m. tonight (Thursday, Dec. 18)
at the LMS Commons.
The final concert of the season is scheduled for Mon-
day, Dec. 22, at 7 p.m. when the Lovell High School Choir
and the LHS Swing Choir perform at the new high school
auditorium/multi-purpose room.
Public comments period set for
county's Public Lands Policy Office
The Big Horn Coun-
ty Commission will consid-
er the establishment of the
Public Lands Poliw Office at
the 11 a.m. session hi their
regular meeting Tuesday,
Jan. 6.
The commissioners have
scheduled one hour to receive
public comment and consider
the topic.
They encourage all citi-
zens with ideas or opinions

Thomas M. Tebbs
Aug. 27, 1938 - Dec. 9, 2014
Thomas Merrill Tebbs
was born Aug. 27, 1938,
to Jesse Meeks Tebbs and
Harriett (Hattie) Merrill
Tebbs in his parents' home
on the Tebbs Ranch west
of Cowley. He weighed
more than 12 pounds.
Tom was educated in
the original Cowley grade
school and high school.
When he was 18 he worked
for Taggart Construction
under the tutelage of Paul
Meeks and McKay Well-
ing and the other workers.
He was a hard worker and
was promoted to driving
heavy machinery at a very
young age.
Tom met Sharon
Green in Sheridan, and
they married. Tom and
Sharon moved to Cowley
after the marriage and he
worked at the ranch with
his dad, Jesse, and grand-
father James S. Tebbs.
Their three children Tere-
sa, Tom and Tim were born
in the Lovell Hospital.
After a few years Tom
and his family moved to
Billings, where he began
a sales job for the Fuller
Brush Co. and soon rose
to be their top salesman.
He also worked as an in-
surance man and that
led him to further his ca-
reer in other sales jobs. He
moved to Las Vegas with
Sharon and the kids and
sold insurance. They later
divorced.
Tom met Marcy Heine
in Las Vegas. It was love
at first sight and they
were married six months
later. Marcy brought two
beautiful daughters, Pa-
mela and Barbara, to the
marriage. Tom brought
his own beautiful daugh-
ter Teresa and two hand-
some boys, Tom and Tim,
to the marriage. Tom's
career took the family to
Salt Lake City and soon
the couple had two more
boys, Tyler and Dan. The
family was complete and
the two raised sex;en chil-
dren together.
Years later the fami-
ly moved to Park City for
a few years, then back to
Las Vegas as Tom went on
to be a successful sales-
man until his retirement.
He was meticulous, hand-
some and diligent, and he
dedicated himself to his ca-
reer that
he loved.
He pro-
vided for
and loved
his family
and was
a vigilant
salesman
even af-
ter he retired. He could
charm anyone with his
personality and his high
intelligence and drive to
succeed.
Tom was preceded in
death by his father and
mother, his older brother,
Jesse M. Tebbs Jr., his be-
loved wife Marcy and his
son Timothy Tebbs. He
is survived by his daugh-
ter Teresa Tebbs (Frank)
Masterson, his son Thom-
as and grandson Ryker,
his daughter Barbara Hin-
kley and her daughter Ma-
rissa Ann and son Clyde'
Daniel Hinkley, his daugh-
ter Pamela (Harnut) Nig-
gemeier and their children
Derek, Blake and Austin;
his son Tyler (Lori) Tebbs,
his son Dan (Jen) Tebbs
and their two children Ty-
ler and Charlotte Tebbs;
his daughter-in-law Clau-
dia and her two daughters
Lauren and Sophia (Tim's
wife and children) and
three great-grandchildren.
He is also survived by
sisters Marian and her
hu-sWa'nd Jack Purcel, Sid-
ney ld her. husband Pat-
rick Whalen, Helen and her
husband John Schwartz
and Drue Tebbs-Meek.
Tom waited for Mar-
cy to come and take him
to heaven and she did on
Tuesday, Dec. 9. He is
through with his suffer-
ing and is with his wife
and son and other family
members.
