Mattamy Homes’ Everly Model interior shot of a staged kitchen. PHOTOS & RENDERINGS COURTESY MATTAMY HOMES
Sendero Crossing by Mattamy Homes is offering nine buildable floor plans with both one- and two-story designs ranging in size between 1,680–4,000 square feet on the northwest corner of 43rd Avenue and Circle Mountain Road, bordered by Anthem to the south and east. Construction on model homes began in April and the floor plans being offered in
the community were just recently released on the builder’s website. Pricing had yet to be released at the time of this writing. Lot sizes range between 50–65 feet wide and 120–125 feet deep, and those adjacent to the southern edge of the property line can only be one-story and 20 feet high, to mitigate view obstructions

hat began in 2002 as a weekly coffee meetup between a handful of local business leaders as the community of Anthem began to take shape, quickly morphed into a formal organization dedicated to helping local businesses grow and serve as a network of service-based businesses area residents could depend on. This month marks the 20-year anniversary of the Preferred Businesses of Anthem (PBA) which began as a group of six business leaders and has grown to 45 members who meet weekly and work together to help one another meet their business goals and give back to the community that stands behind and supports them. “When we got our start, our Anthem Area Chamber of Commerce was not formally in place, so local businesses were looking to branch out

Reflecting on the last two decades, Simons told Valley Vibe, “Aside from the fact that our group has some of the area’s strongest and most respected business leaders, we have shown incredible resiliency by staying together as an organization for 20 years.” Today, PBA coexists alongside the
service projects and fundraisers for local charities. Guests and potential new members are always welcome at PBA meetings.

The Rise in Entrepreneurship Tips on Setting Your Business Up for Success BY VALLEY VIBE STAFF WRITERS

T
he surge in entrepreneurship has continued to boom in the wake of the pandemic. A U.S. Census Bureau report showed that in 2020, Americans filed paperwork to start 4.3 million businesses—a 24 percent increase from the year prior— the largest increase in at least 15 years. Attorney Jim Carroll of the Carroll Law Firm in Anthem, and a member of the Preferred Businesses at Anthem networking group, offered some advice for those considering beginning a business endeavor of their own.
Protect yourself from liability. Establish an
entity such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation, such as an S corporation, which still works like an LLC, but avoids double taxation on corporate income. Carroll says the LLC is preferred by the overwhelming majority of small business owners, due to its ease of set up, but the key benefit of either of these two structures is protection of your personal assets. “Essentially you want to
limit the risk to only the assets of the business,” he said.
2020 CENSUS BUREAU REPORT
Establish an operating agreement. If entering
4.3 million business filings
into a joint venture with a partner or multiple partners, Carroll stressed the importance of spelling out the rights and responsibilities/ roles of each of the parties. This allows for early and essential communication about expectations, and its main purpose serves to protect members rights and lays out the details of the equity agreement. A formal operating agreement can be drawn up by an attorney, especially if the equity interest differs between partners. The agreement can also include considerations many partners don’t often think about at the formation stage, such as future dissolution of the business or partnership, and even death.

or trademark rights and avoid costly litigation down the road. Be sure to research names in your state as well as within the same industry and in any other state or country you intend to conduct business in. A trade name for the
business can be different from your corporate name or the name of your LLC. Carroll notes that while hiring an attorney isn’t required to set your business up, it can help avoid legal issues and problems in the future. He recommends consulting an accountant to discuss the business structure with regard to taxes and getting the business books set up correctly on the first day of conducting business.
Choose your name carefully. Before
you settle on a legal business name, it’s a good idea to search other names that are out there to avoid infringing on another businesses trade name

f you’re thinking of enjoying the peace and tranquility of the great outdoors on a camping trip with the family and bringing your pet along, consider the following before you go.
Hiking and Safety Basics Never leave your pet alone at the camp. The USDA Forest Service treats this as pet abandonment and will issue a violation. Always keep your pet leashed as state and county leash laws remain in effect while on National Forest System Lands. In addition, make sure your dog’s collar contains current tags. If you spend a lot of time camping with your pet, you may want to consider a GPS collar, as the technology is getting more affordable.
Flea and Tick Prevention There are many types of ticks, and the most common
can carry deadly disease, which is transmitted when the tick takes a blood meal from your pet. The symptoms of these diseases begin with a fever and lethargy, which should alert you to see your veterinarian. Chiggers are also common in Northern Arizona and are commonly found in the top layer of moist soil in areas of dense grass or brush. Chiggers feed on skin cells and their saliva produces a massive itchy reaction on our skin and that of our furry companions. Dogs tend to incessantly chew at their feet and limbs if they come in contact with chiggers. Many flea and tick preventatives, like NexGard, will provide adequate protection for your pets.
Don’t Drink the Water Always bring plenty of water from home for your pet. Puddles, ponds, cattle tanks, even running creeks and rivers should be avoided as drinking temptations for your pet. Water contaminants such as Campylobacter, Giardia and Cryptosporidium, can be the
cause of vomiting and diarrhea. Leptospirosis is a bacteria which can live in warm stagnant water, and is spread in the urine of small mammals (like raccoons). It can be deadly as it primarily causes renal failure. If you spend a lot of time in the woods, and can’t keep your dog out of the water, an annual vaccination against lepto is recommended. If this is your pet’s first time camping, you might want to get them acclimated to the outdoors at night by pitching a tent at home to help facilitate a smooth transition to the camp surroundings. Ask your veterinarian for other relevant camping tips before you go.
