Destination dining
Making a trip to a one-of-a-kind restaurant can make the everyday experience of
eating out worth the drive.
Perhaps the best-known destination of
this kind in the El Paso area is Cattlemans
Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch.
Owner Dieter Gerzymisch opened the
restaurant in 1973 as an extension of his
horse rental business on his ranch near an
old Butterfield Trail stop. Today, the
restaurant has blossomed into a full Old
West experience with an aviary, exotic animals, western town, stables, memorabilia,
banquet and wedding facilities, walking
trails and even a movie set.
Were kind of unique, Gerzymisch
said. Where else can you go to dinner and
the kids can come see live buffalo, llamas
and other animals?
What makes the experience really worth
the trip, he added, is plain old quality and
service: We try hard to please people.
Many of his 150 employees have been
with him for several years. His ranch foreman has been there more than 40 years,
and one waiter, who has been with
Cattlemans for more than 20 years, left an
engineering job to return to the restaurant
to work among people he considered family.

the Mission Trail, but also is a single destination for families wanting to get a taste of
the country. The family-owned dairy first
opened in the 1950s, and is known for its
country store with homemade asadero
cheese. It has also become an inexpensive
family venture where people can enjoy its
adjacent petting zoo and fishing pond.
Dairy spokesperson Angel Licon said one
of the dairys main attractions is the number of activities it offers at no cost.
We have the free petting zoo that gives
people the opportunity to get up close to
farm and exotic animals, he said. The
fishing pond is also stocked regularly with
catfish.
There is a fee to fish, but no license is
required.
Licon said last years visitor traffic was
slower, but this year business is on the
upswing again. He said the growing population at Fort Bliss has helped bring in new
visitors.
We get a lot of people from out of town
and we get a lot from Fort Bliss coming to
bring their families, he said. Some people also come here on a regular basis to
have lunch and let the kids play.
Like other out-of-the-way places,
Licon said, the internet has helped them
greatly. Their dairys online service has
gained customers nationwide, and they
have shipped their homemade cheese from
Delaware to Seattle. Social media sites
also help the dairy remind potential guests
when there are special events or other
activities.
Even after several years of successful
business, the dairy is working on new
ways to grow, with a restaurant in the planning stage to accompany the country store.
Soon, he said, people would be able to not
just purchase fresh cheese and other products on site, but enjoy them in a restaurant
setting.
Sometimes, as with the case of Licon
Dairy, the secret to continued longevity in
off-the-beaten-path destinations is longevi-

Ruthless parodies
Broadway, movies,
50s & 60s culture
Talent! Where does it come from? Is it
a product of ones environment something picked up from the street? Or is
talent something youre born with?
Something passed down from generation to generation. Something in the
blood.
So begins theatrical send-up, Ruthless!
The Musical staged this month at Las
Cruces Community Theatre.
Fans of farce will enjoy the fun, said
director Autumn Gieb, who performed
in her first play at six.
Ruthless is a musical that parodies
the genre itself, even theatre. The performing arts attract an interesting mix
of people and its kind of fun to see
those archetypes being called out for
their preposterous ways. No diva is safe
in this show.
Ruthless! tells the story of Tina
Denmark, an 8-year-old with aspirations
of fame on The Great White Way.
She has to start somewhere, so she
auditions for the school play, Gieb,
who has a long history in music, theater
and film, said. Unfortunately, she doesnt get the lead, and since shell do
anything to play this part, she kills the
little girl who does. After Tina is sent
away to the Daisy Clover School for
Psychopathic Ingnues, her mother Judy
takes her place and becomes the star
that Tina has dreamed of being. The
story sends up not only theatre and
Broadway, but the culture of the
50s/60s and parodies the plots of
movies like All About Eve, The Bad
Seed, Gypsy and Auntie Mame.
Gieb, who had been doing mostly
opera and music until she was dragged
back into theater in 2009 at the Black
Box in Las Cruces, said she found out
about the show from a friend who was
helping sew costumes for an LCCT
play.
The deadline for submitting for the
next season came up and I was telling
her about shows I was submitting. She
said her mother had done this show a
few years back, and I was really
intrigued by the story. I got the script
and fell in love. Its absurd, silly and
twisted. Im also a HUGE John Waters
fan and the script has the airs of
Hairspray, Crybaby, and Serial
Mom. Even Polyester to an extent. I
like shows that not only challenge me
as a director, but also shows that I
would either love to see done or audition for.
Her cast has loads of experience.
Vanessa Dabovich plays stage mom
Judy Denmark, who is new to the
LCCT stage, Gieb said, but people
who listen to KGRT will recognize her
voice. Jaime Mejia plays Sylvia St.
Croix, the larger-than-life manager of
Tina and later Judy. Abri Morales, 12,
plays Tina. Abri played Susan in White
Christmas at LCCT in 2012.

Complete Sessions, Rhino
Records
There was once a time when MTVs staple
scheduling included copious amounts of
actual music videos. There was no airtime
for pregnant teens or reckless kids from New
Jersey. They also featured a few programs
specifically related to the music, and MTV
Unplugged was their crowning jewel. It was
so popular that it even spawned a clothing
line and a coffee table book. The show featured diverse artists in a truly original
acoustic setting, where many flourished
and a few did not. Even a legend like Bruce
Springsteen was so unhappy with his performance he scrapped the entire session and
turned it into a plugged event. But there was
one band whose music was so tailor-made
for song reinterpretation that they were the
only ones asked back. Of course, it was
R.E.M., and Rhino Records has documented
these complete amazing performances with a
2-CD set. This features both shows from
1991 and 2001. The bulk of the first disc
focuses on the Out of Time album but also
provides treats from five other releases. The
second platter is primarily about Reveal
and goes deeper into their catalogue for eight
other gems. The set also boasts a first-time
appearance of eleven tracks that never made
the broadcasts. This was also available in an
ultra-limited edition 4 LP vinyl set with only
1,000 pressed worldwide, so if wax is your
thing be prepared to unplug your savings
account because this is already going for a
premium.
