A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that StubHub, Inc. violated California law by recording and monitoring telephone calls made to its customerservice lines without informing callers that the call may be recorded or monitored. StubHub has denied the claims, but agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the costs and uncertainty of litigation. Who’s Included? The settlement includes everyone that called a StubHub customer-service line from a cellular or cordless telephone—while they were located within the State of California—and spoke to a StubHub customer-service agent any time between (1) January 27, 2011 and March 7, 2011, and (2) March 8, 2011 and February 1, 2012 (“Class Members”). What Does the Settlement Provide? If the settlement receives final approval, Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form will receive between $20 and $400 payment based on the date they called a StubHub customer-service line and the total number of valid claims submitted. How Do You Get Benefits? You must submit a valid Claim Form by June 13, 2014. Claim Forms may be printed from www.StubHubSettlement.com or obtained by calling 1-866893-8380 or by writing to StubHub Claims Administrator, PO Box 43249, Providence, RI 02940-3249. Your Other Options. If you do nothing you will be bound by the Court’s decisions and you will not get a settlement payment. If you do not want to be legally bound by the settlement and keep your right to sue StubHub for any claim resolved by this lawsuit, you must exclude yourself from it. The deadline to exclude yourself is June 13, 2014. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get a payment from the settlement. If you stay in the settlement, you may object to it by June 13, 2014. More information is in the class notice and Settlement Agreement and Release available at www.StubHubSettlement.com. The Court’s Fairness Hearing. The San Francisco Superior Court will hold a hearing in this case at 9:30 a.m. on July 22, 2014 in Department 302 to consider whether to grant final approval to the settlement, including a request for attorneys’ fees up to 30% of the total settlement amount and costs. You may appear at the hearing, but you do not have to. You may also hire your own attorney, at your own expense, to appear or speak for you at the hearing.

Millions of Colors in the Shadow by Joe Kowalczyk Kowalczyk creates tangible celebrations of ideas, impulses, and desires that spring from the darker side of the subconscious through expertly crafted ceramic sculpture. Also on view: We’s Gone Be Fine new drawings by Jeremiah Maddock. Maddock’s third solo exhibition with A.D. features all new work ranging from his unique figurative to hyper detailed patterns.
Melissa Leeds’ work embodies the intensity and richness of the feminine. Alternately soft, wise, warm and enigmatic, her subjects appear lost in the space between, as if in the process of always becoming. Melissa’s glaze paintings are a study of life experience balancing the painter’s perspective with a dancer’s movement… testing limits of glaze as a painter’s medium. Melissa demos painting at 8pm.

BITES
GARDEN VARIETIES An abundance of homegrown garlic, peppers and tomatoes inspired Vincent Verret to start his own hot sauce company.
Bear the Heat
A
FTER OLD GARLIC left a bad taste in his mouth, Vincent Verret decided to grow his own in the backyard. Before he knew it, he had started a garden full of garlic, peppers and tomatoes. Then he did what any backyard farmer with a bouquet of flavors would do: make some chili sauce. Since then, Verret started Oso Pepper Company and is working to get his line of Cry Out sauces into the mainstream grocery chains. We talked to Verret about why he loves San Jose, and what gave him the idea to start creating his sauces. METRO: WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START OSO PEPPER COMPANY? Verret: Bad Chinese garlic. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT ONE. We live 30 miles north of Gilroy— the “garlic capital of the world”—and for some strange reason we import garlic from China. We would buy garlic in bulk and get too many rotting pieces. My wife got tired of throwing so much garlic away, so we started growing it in the back yard. Eventually we started growing peppers as well. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE CHILI SAUCE? We ended up with pounds and pounds of peppers. We didn’t know what else to do with them. I talked with my mother-in-law about how we could preserve this stuff, and she helped me start canning and blending it to make sauce. We made sauce out of the house for about five years. WHY IS IT CALLED OSO PEPPER COMPANY? We wanted to incorporate the bear from the California flag because we thought it would be a strong image, but we couldn’t make sense of a bear and peppers together. So we just took the name Oso, which means bear in Spanish. We have people coming up to us and saying the sauce is “oso” good, and we have to explain to them it means bear DOES THE LABEL SAY “CRY OUT” ON IT BECAUSE OF THE SAUCE’S EXTREME HEAT? Actually, that one came from a gentleman in Willow Glen who cuts my and my wife’s hair. We went in one day for haircuts and he told us “your Surf Sauce makes me want to cry out for more,” and that stuck. Cry Out is our line of products and we have two barbecue sauces, pickled asparagus, pickled green beans, pickle spears, a chili sauce, a roasted garlic salsa and a surf sauce. We’re also in the process of making a dry rub. WHAT’S IN THE CHILI SAUCE? Habanero, jalapeño, serrano, red bell pepper and chipotle peppers. We believe that we found a nice balance of medium heat and a ton of flavor with the chili sauce. WHAT’S IN THE SURF SAUCE? Our surf sauce consists of mango, habanero and pineapple. My wife loves to take the Surf Sauce and pour it on top of vanilla ice cream. It’s actually pretty good. You get the sweet of the ice cream, a little heat and more sweetness from all the fruit. —Jerry J. Salas For more info, visit osopeppercompany.com

Giving a Sign
SV DINING
W
INE ENTHUSIASTS will no longer have to trust in oft-unreliable map apps to navigate among the South County’s 20-plus wineries—some of which are tucked deep into the folds of rural hillsides—after county officials approved a new sign program directing motorists to the viticultural destinations.
Earlier this month, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the Santa Clara Valley Wine Trail Route and approved a wayfinding signage program that clears the way for installation of directional signs that will guide motorists to South County wineries. Santa Clara County's wine trail signage will combine with efforts by the cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy to direct oenophiles to wine facilities within their respective city limits, according to county staff. Signs in unincorporated county areas—featuring the logo of the Wineries of Santa Clara Valley association—will be installed by the end of summer 2014, organizers said. Wine association members brainstormed the wine trail idea more than a year ago and will pay for the installation and maintenance of any replacement or new signs needed along the SCV Wine Trail route in the future. The county’s adoption of an official wine trail for Santa Clara Valley is “fabulous,” said Greg Richtarek, Guglielmo Winery’s marketing director and President of the WSCV association. “It’s good that somebody’s paying attention,” Richtarek said. Wine trail signage will guide motorists in a circle through South County, along Watsonville Road, Hecker Pass Highway and the east sides of Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill. Branches off the main trail will direct vehicles to more remote wineries, and signs reminding motorists “Don’t Drink and Drive” will be installed at key locations along the route. In the future, county officials said they plan to link the trail to wineries in the northern and western parts of Santa Clara County and the Santa Cruz mountains to create an even larger wine loop.—Michael Moore
Walk the Walks NO DOUBT THE spring weather has made trails and sidewalks alike more hospitable for walking than they were in rainy March. Perhaps that’s why, in one week, there’s one walk apiece for beer fans and for wine fans— it’s a particularly good week if you like both suds and vino. The Beer Walk takes place April 23, 6-9pm in Campbell, touting tastings of more than two dozen beers at merchants throughout downtown Campbell. Participating breweries include Hermitage, Santa Clara Valley, Lost Coast, Lagunitas and Strike. Tickets are $38; visit thebeerwalk.com. Just three days later, April 26, 2-6pm, the Willow Glen Business Association hosts its annual spring wine walk, which pairs Lincoln Avenue businesses with wine tasting. Bay Area wineries pouring tastes include Clos LaChance, Fenestra, Chateau St. Jean, Creekview Vineyards and Coterie Cellars. Tickets are $35 advance and $40 at the door; visit willowglen.org. —Heather Zimmerman

WAY TO GO After a bad breakup, Bettie (Catherine Deneuve) hits the road, encountering her estranged grandson Charly (Nemo Schiffman) along the way.
Away From Her IF THERE’S such a thing as a French heimat movie—like the German genre that seeks that nation's heartland—Emmanuelle Bercot's On My Way (Elle S'en va) is it. The star is Catherine Deneuve, but her half-century career in films isn't treated as stuffy material to be honored. It's a playful, loose film with no queening allowed. Deneuve is a prime center for such an examination of France. This hard-to-resist road picture, sketchy yet firmly sketched, contrasts two aspects of France. One is the big-box store/superhighway landscape that might as well be Ohio. The other is the country backroads on which Deneuve's Bettie drives, bewildered. At the start, Bettie works in a moribund restaurant where the customers are old and dull; Bettie takes their orders, and her sharp-eyed mother Annie (Claude Gensac) works as a cashier. The mother and daughter live on the premises. Their living room is lit by the bluish light of an aquarium, with a pair of squabbling lobsters in it. Mascots, likely. Annie drops a bomb on her daughter. She's heard gossip that Bettie's married lover has just run off with a 25-year-old girl. Heartsick, Bettie goes out for the proverbial pack of smokes and keeps on driving. Bercot's approach is neo-documentary as when Bettie bums an emergency cigarette from a non-professional actor, a bachelor farmer. He rolls one with his sausagey fingers and tells the story of his life. He's 80 and yet it still only takes a few sentences. Farther down the road, Bettie detours to her estranged

daughter Muriel's place to take care of her equally estranged 11-year-old grandson, the pleasingly bratty Charly (Nemo Schiffman). There is a disturbing early juxtaposition in the film—the meaty, weathered Deneuve of today and a cut to a grainy black-and-white newspaper photo of the lady in her days of poreless perfection decades ago. In 1969, Bettie was Miss Brittany, though fate kept her from wearing the tiara and the sash of On My Way Miss France. So another detour: Bettie and Charly Not rated; 116 MIN arrive at a lakeside hotel Opens Friday where the beauty queens of yesteryear are being primped for a charity calendar. The runaway Bettie is finally cornered. It's significant that the clash happens during an election-day dinner at the big backyard of Charly's ornery grandfather (Gerard Garouste), a small-town mayor. Bettie's seething daughter Muriel (the onenamed actress Camille) pays her mother a grudging compliment: "You'll look beautiful in your coffin"—meaning you'll be goodlooking till the bitter end. Deneuve holds this rambling movie together—and demonstrates her survival on screen is due to the fact that she was ever a skilled deadpan comedian. Her Bettie may be lost at the wheel, but Deneuve isn't coasting. Like the Mercedes she pilots, she's a highmileage classic.— Richard von Busack
