King City, CA — Sol Treasures, the nonprofit arts organization dedicated to enriching the cultural landscape of South Monterey County,
has accepted the resignation of its long-serving Executive Director, Jeff Hinderscheid. After years of leading Sol Treasures programs
with his trademark ebullience, Hinderscheid plans to pursue an exciting new venture in the form of Center Stage Theatrical Productions,
his new theater company.
“Jeff has devoted years to Sol Treasures, first as a board member and then as our Executive Director. We are incredibly proud of all he
has accomplished during his tenure with us,” said Sol Treasures Board President Jessica Riley. “Jeff's passion and leadership have been
instrumental in shaping the vibrant arts community here, and we wish him success on this exciting new project. We plan to collaborate
with his new business on Sol Treasures theater programming.” The change in leadership will have no impact on Something Rotten!, the
Sol Treasures musical production directed by Hinderscheid and scheduled to open on March 21 at the Robert Stanton Theater.
Sol Treasures has appointed Maria Turner, the organization’s long-time Operations Manager, to the role of Interim Executive Director.
Turner has been an integral part of the Sol Treasures team for five years. She has worked alongside Hinderscheid and the Board to
advance the mission of the organization. Turner most recently represented Sol Treasures in the Alliance on Aging’s Trashion Show.

this period of change,” said Riley. “Her unwavering commitment to our mission will ensure that Sol Treasures continues to bring high-
quality arts programs to south Monterey county."
Sol Treasures plans to continue its efforts to support local artists and foster community engagement. With Turner’s leadership, the
organization is excited to continue building on its successful track record of cultural offerings, including their well-attended Día de los
Muertos parade and celebration, hosted in partnership with Tina Lopez and La Cocina.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public.

Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass.   CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try t...
