10 photos
for sale
"This chapter of my life is all about me," said Cheryl Caruso, one of the stars of the hit show, "I Married A Mobster", who signed autographed photos, and bottles of Talero Tequila at Burke's Wine and Liquors in Sparta on October 14.
Caruso, who has a background in the spirits, hospitality, and nightclub industries is a partner in marketing the organic tequila.
Caruso is most known for her role on Investigation Discovery on "I Married A Mobster", and is one of eight women who tells her story about life as a mob-wife.
Caruso said she had no idea her husband, Phil, aka "Philly" was part of the mob. She soon discovered her husband was a whole different man than she initially married, and was leading a double life.
"I went into something totally blindsided," she recalled.
While her husband was in jail for racketeering and drug-dealing charges, Caruso ended up raising their two daughters on her own by holding down three jobs. Her youngest daughter started her first year of college.
"I Married A Mobster" will go into its second season, with a reunion between the mob wives who, off camera, have bonded, and formed friendships with one another.

One of the good ol' boys came back to town when John Schneider visited Franklin Sussex Auto Mall on Saturday, August 13 for New Jersey's Hazzard County Fair, hosted by the auto mall.
Schneider signed autographs for fans throughout the day, and then was one of the judges of the Daisy Duke Look-A-Like Contest.
There were General Lee's, and Sheriffs' cars on display for the fans to enjoy, as well as music, and a free barbecue.
"John is probably one of the nicest guys I've dealt with," said Bill Snouffer, General Manager. "He is down-to-earth, a great guy. He's one of us."
Schneider has been to Franklin Sussex Auto Mall for similar events in the past, with his last visit in 2009.
"It's good to be here," Schneider said. It's my third time here, I'd like to come back."
While visiting Sussex County, Schneider told the audience during a question and answer session, he spent time at Crystal Springs, and Snouffer said the two also played golf in Panther Valley. Schneider said he plans to return for a visit to Crystal Springs with his wife, where she can enjoy the spa, and he can play golf.
Schneider additionally told fans he was proud to be part of shows like "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Smallville", which have a growing base of fans each year.
In addition to a still vibrant acting career, Schneider is a spokesperson for Beach Body, having lost 26 pounds with the P90X workout plan, and Shakeology nutritional shakes. Members of Schneider's business team, "Team Ripped Duke", joined him for the event.
"I have always worked out," Schneider said. A fan asked if he did the stunts on "The Dukes of Hazzard".
"I did all of the fights, and driving, but none of the jumps," Schneider said. "You never know when a car is going to land on its top. We had the best team of stunt men and women."
Schneider said he stays in touch regularly with co-stars Tom Wopat, and Catherine Bach, and was going to see Bach at another "Dukes" event the next day in Virginia.
There were 11 contestants in the Daisy Duke Look-A-Like Contest, and 6 small girls who entered the youth portion of the contest.
Caitlyn Van Sweden of Wantage won the title of all the little girls, and took home a Wii as her prize.
Chelc Scymanski of Newton the second runner-up in the adult contest won an Xbox 360, Brigid Rosendale of Hardyston, the runner-up won an HP TouchPad, and grand prize winner Kristin Kimball of Sussex won a 47" LCD HDTV.

54 photos
for sale
It is back to reality, literally, for Franklin Sussex Auto Mall this week, after being under the microscope last week, when filming for a SpikeTV reality show.
The new reality TV show features internationally known automotive sales and management consultant, Tom Stuker. Stuker, who is easily recognized the black cowboy hat and boots that he sports as he walks through dealerships, has traveled worldwide so extensively to help car sales outlets, he was recently honored by United Airlines for logging in over 10 million miles with them.
"The show gives us an inside look into the life of a dealership," said Executive Producer, Craig Armstrong of the show, currently titled, "Car Boss", and scheduled for airtime in 2012.
Armstrong was a co-executive producer for "Survivor", and Executive Producer for "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", "Supernanny", and "Food Revolution", which received an Emmy for "Outstanding Reality Program". Armstrong has received six other Emmy Nominations during his career.
Armstrong said Stuker and his team work with dealerships to strengthen various facets of their business.
"It's really interesting to find out how it all works and what makes a dealership tick," Armstrong continued. "It's meant to be a lot of fun and to enjoy the process of selling cars."
During the week, the spotlight was on Bill Snouffer, General Manager of Franklin Sussex Auto Mall, and his team. On Saturday, August 6, the dealership hosted festivities, including a barbecue, in coordination with their "Sizzling Summer Sales Event". The event wrapped up with a drawing for a 32" LCD HDTV; Tom and Patty Prout of Wantage won the TV.
"I've been in this business for 32 years, and this is one of the best dealerships around," Stuker told the crowd. "Bill's been a successful operator for a long time, and one of the classiest people in the car business."
Stuker said he worked with some of the sales people, and in areas where they were struggling, they were now stronger, and he was pleased with their progress.
"There are a few sales people who were doing well, and are now doing excellent," said Vem Miller, the show's creator, as he watched the filming.
"I've learned a lot from him, it's been an interesting week, it's been a lot of fun, and there are a lot of good guys on the crew," said General Sales Manager, Claude Jaillet.
Stuker also commended Snouffer for his interaction with his employees.
"He cares about his employees, like he cares about his customers," Stuker said.
"If I had a dealership, I'd be dog gone proud to have them on my team," Stuker concluded.
