Sierra County Treasurer and
at Ekmar Abstract & Title
Co., until her retirement.
Edna was a talented artist,

of the founders of the Caballo

Gordon; and an infant son,
James William.

daughters, Charlotte Hall

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. Given the complex
considerations
involved
in starting or expanding
a business, entrepreneurs
should consult a lawyer or
accountant when choosing
a structure that offers the
greatest advantage.

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

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.

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

still be causing you deep
pain. We all experience that 5552 And Growing!
