Marcos Reyna both are autonomous legal entities. LLC owners are called members. They can run the business or hire managers to run it. A member-managed LLC resembles a partnership; a manager-run LLC mimics a corporation. Most states require an LLC to have an operating agreement that states the organization’s membership and management structure. The LLC isn’t required to issue membership shares, hold meetings or record decisions, but it is advisable to do so to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Oversight is much stricter for corporations; they must register with the state, adopt bylaws, issue shares to equity holders/owners, hold shareholder meetings and file annual reports, among other requirements. Shareholders don’t manage the corporation’s affairs or bear personal responsibility for the business’s obligations; they vote for directors who hire managers to fulfill these tasks. C corporations pay taxes on the corporation’s earnings, and their shareholders are individually taxed on dividends. If the business qualifies, it can elect S corporation status, avoiding corporate taxes and passing losses or gains directly to shareholders. The rules for organizing as an S corporation are strict, however, and not all businesses qualify. For more information, visit w w w. F i n a n c e N e w M e x i c o.org.

The form a new business should take isn’t always obvious. Though many selfemployed entrepreneurs begin as sole proprietors, an individual can structure her business in many other ways. The best structure is the one that fits her business’s strategy and size and offers the greatest protection from liability and taxes. FLYING SOLO A sole proprietorship, the simplest business form, is logical for many startups or solo professionals, such as consultants, private investigators or freelance writers. In a sole proprietorship, the business is not separate from the owner, and his business income and losses are included on his personal tax returns. A sole proprietor often has little overhead, and personal assets are used in the business. He operates under his own name or creates a “doing business as” moniker. Because the sole proprietor is personally responsible for all his business’s debts and liabilities, he might want to incorporate or become a limited liability company to protect his assets. A sole proprietor rarely has to do more than obtain a business license and gross receipts tax number, but his business type might require registration with licensing authorities. CHOOSING PARTNERS Some solo entrepreneurs evolve into partnerships, LLCs or corporations to limit liability, expand opportunities or attract investors. It takes at least two people to form a partnership, and the arrangement can be general –with each partner’s actions binding the entire group– or limited, where the general partner runs the business and the limited partner receives returns, but is silent and powerless in business matters. All gains and losses go directly to individual partners in proportions agreed to in the partnership agreement. Partnerships can be simple arrangements between two or more people, or they can be more formal combinations. GOING CORPORATE Both corporations and LLCs offer owners limited protection from business debts and liabilities, and Looking For Singers Hazen Facing Five More Criminal Charges By Ruth Wilson Composer and conductor Frederick Wilson is seeking singers for a premier performance of two of his original compositions, one a requiem for those who died on 9/11/2001 and the other “A Testament of Hope” in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Manish Shirley, Pastor www.fumctorc.org Local Woman Assaulted Transport Officers After Attacking City Police By Carlos Padilla HERALD Editor As reported in last week’s edition of The Herald, 20year-old Trinity Hazen of Truth or Consequences was already having a bad day when her actions of tearing up a home led to her arrest Saturday, Jan. 17. Things only got worse when Ms. Hazen decided to attack Truth or Consequences Police Detective [TCPD] Officer Yoser Bojorquez and Sgt. Erica Baker. That incident led to Hazen facing three criminal counts, including felony charges. Things only continued to get worse, however, as the evening wore on. A criminal complaint filed by TCPD Detective George Lee in Sierra County Magistrate Court on Monday, Jan. 26, details the events that led to five additional criminal charges being filed against her. Once Ms. Hazen was booked into the Sierra County Detention Center [SCDC], TRINITY HAZEN she was set to be transferred to the Luna County Detention Center in Deming, with SCDC officers Thomas Schalkofski and Victor Rees scheduled to transfer her out of county. At approximately 7:30 p.m., Saturday, while en route to Deming in the jail’s transport van, Ms. Hazen spat on officers Rees and Schalkofski through the vehicle’s expanded metal barrier. According to the officers’ reports of the incident, Ministerial Alliance By Ric Miller What is it with potluck suppers and chicken? I love the dish, and enjoy going to potlucks because I know that I will be treated to a fine supper and I can eat all the chicken my tummy can hold. However, I know one preacher who would have trouble with potlucks. I am sure he would resent all those he had to go because of the chicken that would be placed in front of him. My preacher friend is Peter of the Bible. You see, Jesus predicted that Peter would deny Him three times. In fact, the Scripture states that Peter would deny Jesus three times before the cock crowed twice. While the Bible does not state it, the sound of the crowing, the look at a chicken, both reminded Peter of what happened. Now, if you read the Bible, Peter’s sin was forgiven, but that does not erase the taste, the smell, the vision of chickens and sin. That is a problem today. We suffer through chickenitis. Officer Rees pulled over to the side of Interstate 25 near Milepost 65, and both officers attempted to place a spit hood on the inmate, identified as Ms. Hazen, after she began spitting on both officers beginning near Milepost 67. However, Hazen refused to comply with the officers’ orders, and pulled the hood off of her head and attempted to kick the officers. The officers decided to place Ms. Hazen’s handcuffs behind her to prevent her from removing the spit hood, but the woman made several attempts to bite the officers while they attempted to remove and replace the handcuffs. Once re-cuffed, Hazen managed to slip one hand out of the restraints, and had to be cuffed again. In addition to her previous charges, Hazen has been charged with two counts of fourth-degree felony counts of battery upon a peace officer, two criminal counts of assault upon a peace officer, and a single criminal count of resisting, evading or obstructing an officer. *** type of sin. We all commit the sin we wish would leave us. Friend, I tell you, you cannot fight this by yourself. When you do, you fall deeper and deeper into the abyss of guilt. It gnaws into your psyche till it controls you. Don’t believe me? What things are you doing that are destroying you? Alcohol? Drugs? Acting out? You know what it is. It is that self-destruct button that is tearing you apart. First thing is to realize it is there. Second, turn your life to the only one who can help you fight this battle. Jesus. Third, contact me or a pastor who is a member of the Sierra County Ministerial Alliance. Allow these people to help you overcome the pain of sin. *** Subscribe to The Herald email: [email protected] & [email protected] Sin forgiven has a tendency to raise its ugly head. Reminders of what we have done can and often plague us. Those who have a relationship with Jesus know that not only is sin forgiven, but it is also forgotten. That is, sin, placed at the foot of the Cross will be forgiven all the time. Not only forgiven, but also forgotten. We have a God that understands sin, though having not sinned himself. He felt the pang of sin, I am sure, when Peter ran from Him. He feels the sin we commit. Still, He is anxious to forgive us. At the end of sin, He is there telling us to release the sin upon Him. He can carry the burden, the memories of it. I feel hurt when I think of the person who does not have that advocate. You know who you are. You know that one sin you did, that comes back to haunt your memories. That sin may have done grievous harm to another. It maybe TheHeraldNM still be causing you deep pain.
