Restaurateur to open Pinky’s
Restaurateur Gene Gunn, who purchased Yum Yum Tree in Kailua, will open Pinky’s Pupu Bar and Grill there in late spring.
Reminiscent of Pinky’s Broiler at the old Pali Palms Hotel, the bar and grill will be a gathering place for Windward residents, said Gunn, owner of Big Island Steak House outlets and Ocean Club nightclub.
With the design being eclectic and nostalgic, the name fit, he said.
The restaurant will emphasize pupu selections and also offer a sushi bar.

Psychotherapy workshop set
A free workshop on healing trauma through body-centered psychotherapy will be held today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days at Kapi‘olani Community College Chapel with clinical psychologist Nalani Minton.
The workshop is sponsored by Papa Ola Lokahi, Kapi‘olani Community College and the Hakomi Somatics Institute and will use techniques from the Hakomi Somatics Institute, which uses a holistic approach to healing by focusing on how trauma affects the body.
Minton’s work brings together traditional healing techniques used by native peoples, including the Maori and Native Hawaiians. Minton has been a transcendental meditation teacher for 20 years, has taught at the Colorado School of Healing Arts and the Rolf Institute, and was resident psychotherapist for the Boulder County AIDS project.
The workshop is a prerequisite for a longer session this summer.
