TUCSON – The Mint Cocktails bar on Grant Road was recently purchased by new owners. The business partners also happen to operate Wild Boys, a group of men who provide entertainment to women.
“I think as far as calling us strippers, I’d rather be an entertainer. It’s not about going down and showing skin. It’s about putting on a show that’s professional done and tasteful, that women enjoy,” explained Chris Smith, one of the owners.
Owners Chris Smith and Skyy Garcia say they want to keep the regulars who frequent the bar during the day but they also want to offer karaoke, comedians, live bands and the Wild Boys entertainment a couple nights each week. Ronni Kotwica, president of the Palo Verde Neighborhood Association said when she and her fellow neighbors first met with Garcia and Smith, the two never mentioned the Wild Boys, “it just brings in a bad element and we want to cut that off before it begins.”

The indictment doesn’t specify which parent is suspected of inflicting the injuries. The child abuse counts allege Olivia Paige Martinez, 20, and Jonathan Niles Kesterson, 26, either intentionally and knowingly hurt Vanessa under circumstances likely to cause death or permitted her to be placed in a situation in which her health was endangered.
On April 12, Kesterson was arrested in San Diego on a weapons charge. While speaking with police, he said his daughter Vanessa had died of sudden infant death syndrome while her mother was watching her on Jan. 8. Fearing state CPS would take their older child away, Kesterson said he and Martinez buried Vanessa in the desert.
Martinez said Kesterson was watching the baby while she worked at a Tucson strip club, and when she got home, the baby was dead.

Tiger Woods made it official on Tuesday when he announced on his personal website that he would be playing next week in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Marana’s Dove Mountain enclave.
Woods’ presence at the event will likely mean local TV stations and daily newspapers will have to double their staff coverage in order to keep track of every move the world’s most famous sex-addicted golfer makes. Whether that includes any forays into the seedier parts of Tucson is unclear.
Woods has played in four of the previous five Match Play events held in Marana, winning it all in 2008. Since then, though, he’s one only one of three matches, and missed the 2010 event while, um, marital issues.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -
A man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for a 2009 shooting death outside a Tucson strip club.
Pima County prosecutors say 30-year-old Andre Lightsey-Copeland was sentenced Wednesday. He was given 27 months’ credit for time he’s already served in the Pima County Jail.
Lightsey-Copeland was convicted last month of second-degree murder in the July 2009 shooting death of David Tyne.
In a statement to the judge, Lightsey-Copeland apologized to Tyne’s family.
But the victim’s father, David Tyne Sr., says he can’t forgive Lightsey-Copeland and called him “morally deficient.”
Pima County Superior Court Judge Teresa Godoy told Lightsey-Copeland she believes he’s a decent man who lost his way when he started hanging out with the wrong people.

Pablo Francisco, however, has done his best at giving the former Saturday Night Live performer a run for his money. Francisco, who was born in Tucson and cut his teeth at Valley clubs like the Tempe Improv, is a gifted impressionist who’s starred on MADtv, appeared on Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon, and cracked jokes on Comedy Central, VH1, and NBC’s Last Comic Standing.
Francisco will even have the honor of demonstrating how his yukks are funnier than Spade as both comedians will perform back-to-back gigs at Stand Up Live over Thanksgiving weekend.
Jackalope Ranch recently spoke with Francisco, who now resides in L.A., about his upcoming performance what he misses about Phoenix (including his favorite strip club) …
What are your roots here in Phoenix? My family is there in the Valley and I’m from Tucson. I used to perform a lot at the Improv up there. Phoenix has always been a hub for me because it’s hip and sexual. Got the topless bars on a lot of street corners. Table dances are still $10 and its gonna be the next L.A. so I’ve thought of it as home
