How can i remove the link from my category titles?

[swiftmed]

Hey Guys,

 

Currently the titles of my categories in my coloum_left links to that particular category. on this occasion i dont want the category title to link to anything, but instead just be there as a category name. can anybody make sense of the code below and posibly edit it for me so that my category titles do not link to anything.

 

so you understand what i mean by category titles please see this page: http://www.strathfieldbrookvale.com.au/ - in the left menu, i do not want the words "Menu" and "Electronics" to link to anything.
