Rotary Solves the Mystery

Rotary Solves the Mystery
HERE we have it, as promised last week, the first picture of the Kenthurst cat.
This one was shot (or should we say snapped) aboard the Kenthurst Rotary float surrounded by bags of horse manure during the recent Orange Blossom Festival street parade.
While we are the last people to doubt the existence of an unusually large cat-like creature in the bush at Kenthurst we had to laugh at the eye-catching humour behind the Kenthurst Rotary Club's float.
On a serious note, though, we are always keen to hear of sightings of the elusive cat.
The Times has had the Kenthurst cat on its radar since it first broke a story about the panther-like creature in 2003.
There have been numerous sightings of a ``big cat'' in the bush around Kenthurst and Dural ever since.
If you have seen a panther (other than one on a float) let us know by sending an email to editor@hillsshiretimes.com.au
Nelson Aspen will be exchanging Beverley Hills for Baulkham Hills when he launches his new book, Hollywood Insider Exposed! at Castle Hill.
The Hollywood man, who is a feature in the mornings on Channel 7's Sunrise program, will be spending the evening at Dymocks Bookstore at Castle Towers on October 16.
The new book reveals secrets and insights into some of the world's most loved and well-known personalities.
With first-hand gossip, personal photographs and plenty of never-before-released anecdotes from behind the velvet ropes, Aspen recounts four decades of fun.
So if you are keen to find out about secret romances or surgery gone wrong, Aspen will dish out all the juicy facts. The only trouble is you will have to try and work out who he is talking about.
Kristen Delaney from the Dymocks Castle Hill said: ``Nelson Aspen has such a vivacious and bubbly personality, we're absolutely thrilled to have him with us to celebrate his new book and meet and greet his fans.''
If you're a fan Aspen, his tan and his new book will be at Dymocks at Castle Towers from 7.30pm on Thursday October 16.
