MILILANI TOWN, Hawaii -
What do Guadalajara,
San Diego, Tijuana, Ross
Dress for Less, water
polo and taquerias have
in common?  Each of
these factors
contributed to the
success of 26-year-old
entrepreneur Jésus
Santoyo, owner of Just
Tacos restaurants on
Oahu.
Due to a variety of reasons, including the present state of the
economy, price of oil, and an uncertain economic forecast, several
restaurants in the state -- some of them long-time neighborhood icons
-- have closed or are closing. But Just Tacos is expanding.  And no one
that knows Santoyo is surprised.

Our rings are inter-related
We were raised in America by lucky chance...
We live in Hawaii by geographical choice...
But, we are Hispanic  --- by the grace of God!
Every weekday morning the Hickam Air
Force Base Fitness Center opens at
4:30am.  At that time, a variety of people
start coming in the door for their workout.
 Some are young military men and women
trying to stay fit.  Some are dedicated
athletes that may devote an hour to
working a single body part.  Some are
older men and women trying to get in
shape or maintain their fitness level.
