CIBC RUN FOR THE CURE
By Dr. Jane Anne Howard
breast cancer. Another friend also found out her
best friend was diagnosed as well. The statistics
seem astounding, that 1 in 9 Canadian women will
be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. In
2013, an estimated 1,730 Atlantic Canadian women will be diagnosed.
As a community, we felt that we should embrace
these brave women and men who are fighting or
have fought such illness with compassion and support. We wanted to show all of these brave people
how much we think of them, pray for them, and
support them and what better way to show this
then by raising donations for the Canadian Breast
Cancer Foundation in their honor. We also wanted
to show them in person by walking or running together, that we stand with them.
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is the
leading community-driven breast cancer charity
dedicated to funding relevant, innovative research
and supporting and advocating for the breast cancer community. Since 1997, CBCF-Atlantic Region
has awarded $23 million for Atlantic Canada
Breast Cancer research community health grants.
The CIBC Run for the Cure is the Foundation’s signature fundraising event. It is the largest single
day, volunteer-led fundraising event in Canada
dedicated to breast cancer. Although the prevalence of breast cancer is remaining study, the incidence of death from breast cancer has decreased
by 42% since the mid 1980’s. This is related to
advances in regular screening mammography,
advances in other screening technology and improved treatments.

Each year as part of our routine health care checks,
women and men across the country will undergo
physical examinations and routine screening tests.
Lots of us will be lucky and receive good reports,
but others, unfortunately will need to be further
worked up for disease, particularly breast cancer.
In the past year, a family member, a close friend, a
colleague, and a neighbor were all diagnosed with

Why DO cats scratch? Their humans, concerned about damage to woodwork, carpets, and furniture, would much prefer if
cats wouldn't scratch, but the truth is: cats
love and need to do it! To read all about
positive cat behavior turn to pages 6 & 7.
In the words of previous film goers, the
documentary films chosen by the AIFF

YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)
Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
It seems that you are not in the
know, and it may be frustrating for
you. Don’t worry, the fog will soon
clear and everything will be revealed.
Things are coming up roses this
week. There is lots of positivity
around you, so get those small
tasks out of the way and be prepared to enjoy life.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)
You have been having so much
fun with a special someone. It
may be that your relationship is
growing stronger, if that is possible. Love is grand.
Choose your words carefully this
week; others may take you literally
when you are only joking. Don’t
let something you say today come
back to bite you in the future.
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)
A project needs to be completed
and you may be running out of
time. Stick to the plan and focus
on the end result. You know you
always pull through in ta pinch.
Something may be blown out of
proportion this week. Maintain
your sense of fairness and don’t
take sides. Others may use this
opportunity to get what they want.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
It is important this week to let
others know how you feel. Not
everyone is going to be open to
your honesty, but they will appreciate you for it.
The summer has been fun, but
now it is time to focus your attention on goals that you have been
shirking. Concentrate your efforts
on diet and exercise.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
You may be in the middle of a
dispute this week, and finding it
hard to move the situation forward. Let others speak their
peace so everyone can move on.
You may be forced into the spot
light over the next week or so.
Use it to your advantage to show
off your skills and abilities. Others will value you for it.
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)
You may feel a certain way, but
don’t expect others to share your
opinion. Once you realize that
variety makes the world go
around, the better off you will be.
You may be attracted to someone
who is very different from yourself.
Give it a chance, if nothing else
you will be enlightened by a new
perspective on life.

...Other stuff
Hold Your Horses: When a team of horses starts galloping too quickly, you pull on the reins to stop them
from going too fast. When we say hold your horses to someone, it usually means we think that person is
going too fast, acting too quickly etc.
The...Hit the Fan: Everyone is familiar with this term, but it is not known where it originated. But you can
imagine the state of the room when a mass of IT got hurled into a fan.
High Horse, on one’s: In medieval times, high/large horses were specifically bred to carry the weight of a
man in armor. They were therefore ridden only by people of rank, or the higher ups! To get up on one’s high
horse would mean to assume the air of some exalted person.
Hem and Haw: A sixteenth-century speaker stalling for time would hem (“Hmm-uh”) and hawk (clear his
throat). People confronted with questions they don’t particularly want to answer still do this, hem and haw.
Havoc: This originally was a military command: when a town was captured, the cry of “Havoc” meant, approximately, “Stop fighting and start looting.” The result, of course, was - havoc.
Haul someone over the coals: In the olden days of religious persecution, heretics who refused to recant
where burned to death, in sixteenth century slang, “fetched over the coals.” Today, if your boss hauls you
over the coals he/she won’t kill you, but he/she will certainly make things hot for you and you will probably
feel burned up.
Heathen: Christianity began as primarily an urban religion; people in rural areas continued to worship the
older gods. The Latin word for countryman was paganus, and subsequently pagan, the Germanic tongues
had a similar word, something like khaithanaz, “dwelling in the heath” (wilderness) - thus the term heathen
originated.

Promoting Positive
By Nelda Armour

Some cats prefer horizontal
surfaces for scratching, such
as a jute door mat or corrugated cardboard scratcher from a
pet supply store.

Use positive reinforcement:
reward your cat for good
scratching behaviour with
treats, affection and attention.
DO NOT physically punish your
cat for inappropriate scratching.
Troubleshooting Inappropriate
Scratching Behaviour
If your cat is scratching inappropriate objects, there are a number of
effective ways to prevent this.
“Much of the information in this
article comes from the MEOW
Foundation, a wonderful organization that rescues many homeless
cats, including feral/very shy ones.
MEOW stands for “AMake Each
One Wanted” and the foundation
has been operating in Calgary since
2000.”
fingernails do and need regular trimming.
Trimming of
claws every 4 to 6 weeks
keeps cats comfortable. Note:
trim only the clear hooked
portion of each claw.

Scratching
Why DO cats scratch? Their humans, concerned about damage to
woodwork, carpets, and furniture,
would much prefer if cats wouldn't scratch, but the truth is: cats
love and need to do it! Scratching
makes cats feel good and keeps
their nails trimmed and free of old
sheaths (layers). For cats, scratching is as natural as breathing air.
Cats scratch to play, groom, mark
territory, bury waste, stretch, exercise specific back and shoulder
muscles and express happiness.
So let's promote good scratching
behaviour!

Cats' claws grow just as our
6


Place a scratching post or cat
tree nearby. Most cats of any
age will learn how to use and
love their scratching posts. In
fact, large, multi-level posts
will often become your cat’s
playground, bedroom, observation deck, tanning salon,
couch and favorite hiding
spot.

Use double-sided tape to prevent scratching of furniture, or
limit access.

Discipline with a spray water
bottle, a loud noise or a firm
‘NO’.

Another option for problem
scratchers is a product called
‘Soft Paws’. Soft paws are
acrylic claw covers that are
applied with a non-toxic adhesive to the cat's nails. Each
application of ‘soft paw’ claw
covers lasts about 2-3
months. Think of these like
glue-on nails for cats. You can
order these on the Internet.
Scratching posts can provide
cats with a human-approved
destination when they need to
scratch. All cat owners should
supply at least one post which
is at least 39 inches high. The
taller, the better. Posts should
be well constructed, solid and
stable. Here are some sites
with information about making How to Safely Trim Your Cat’s

 Always try to trim a cat’s claws
Cat Behaviour
when they are very relaxed or
sleepy.

To trim, hold the paw and
gently press the toe pad to
extend the claw. Trim the
clear pointed hook end of the
claw. Be careful not to cut into
the pink area or ‘the quick’
found in the upper half of the
claw as this will cause pain
and bleeding.

If the cat becomes impatient
or restless, take a break.
Sometimes you can only trim
one or two claws per day, but
the job will get done.

Reward your cat with a treat
to encourage his cooperation.

If your cat does not cooperate,
seek assistance from your
veterinarian or an experienced cat groomer.

Claws can be trimmed approximately every 4 to 6 weeks.
Don’t Declaw
Declawing is
almost
always done
for human
convenience. Many
animal rescue organizations,
including
the MEOW
Foundation
of Calgary,
believe that
declaw and
tendonectomy surgeries
are harmful,
without benefit to cats, and inhumane. All species are equal in their
right to be treated with respect and
compassion. It is also important for
cat owners to understand the facts
and health risks of declawing.


shoulder and joint pain (as

social anxiety and litter box


Elective declaw surgeries are
illegal in numerous regions of
the world, including the United
Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil,
Israel, France, Northern Ireland, Portugal and Belgium.
Other Unwanted Behaviours
Many cat owners may feel dismayed by a cat’s behaviour whether natural or just unwanted within
the context of the home. These
behaviours may range from jumping on counters to scratching furniture to inappropriate marking or
aggression. To correct such behaviours, immediacy is the key. Discipline must be done at the moment
of the unwanted behaviour or not
at all. Spray water bottles, loud
noises, firm ‘NOs’ or removing your
cat from the situation are effective
deterrents.
A cat’s claw is NOT like a human fingernail. A claw is part
of the last bone of the cat’s
foot. To remove the claw, the
bone, nerve, joint capsule,
collateral ligaments and the
extensor and flexor tendons
are removed. Put simply, a
declaw is an amputation.

There is considerable wisdom
among experienced cat owners
which can be drawn upon. If you
need professional advice, do not
hesitate to speak with your veterinarian or request a referral to a
certified animal behaviourist. Professionals may well be able to offer
a diagnosis and treatment plan for
your pet.
Here's to enjoying a terrific relationship with your cat(s)! Like their
owners, they are not perfect, but
they bring great joy to our lives.

What’s Your Pleasure Or Your Issue?
By Elaine MacLean
Health, the environment, disabilities, LGBT, fish, meditation, music, the arts?
The Antigonish International Film
Festival (AIFF) is coming soon with
something to interest everyone.
Last week you read in The Highland Heart about our Friday night
feature, Sweet Dreams. Friday
night is always a special night but
films are also being screened
Friday afternoon, October 17 and
all day Saturday, October 18. In
this week’s column we want to
encourage you to attend by touching on a few of the world class
films being shown over these two
days.
In the words of previous film goers, the documentary films chosen by the AIFF selection committee will inspire, delight, transform,
challenge and touch you. Beginning with the latest film from the
Canadian landscape photographer, Edward Burtynsky, see Watermark, a stunningly beautiful
film that explores our relationship
to water, how we are drawn to it
and what we learn from it.
Do you meditate or are you interested in learning more about its
benefits? Come see Free the
Mind and discove r
h ow
meditation can
change
your
mind and help
anyone from
children experiencing behavioural challenges to former
soldiers suffering PTSD.
Are older people your passion? Abeulas
and
Granny
P ower
will
remind
you
that people of
any age can be
powerful, influential and committed to issues important to many
of us. With Musicwood, you will
make connections between
spruce and guitars and hear how
this connection is being threatened.
If gospel music is your genre, see
Al Helm: Martin Luther King in
Palestine showing actors and
singers from North America travelling to Palestine where they learn
of non-violent changes among
peoples of diverse backgrounds.
Our regular film festival buffs
have always been interested in
how persons with disabilities are
inspired and inspiring. See Art
From the Streets and the new film
from Antigonish’s own Peter Murphy, of Seabright Productions.
Murphy’s latest film Sometimes
Life Has a Way of Inspiring You
features our own Park Bench
Players. To keep the inspiration
going, experience the story of one
of Canada's most celebrated
painters by seeing Winds of Heaven: Emily Carr, Carvers & the
Spirits of the Forest which explores the spirit that informed
Carr’s work.
ing shown include When Bubbles
Burst, a film that helps to explain
the inner workings of the global
economy and Fire in the Blood
which examines the questionable
tactics of the pharmaceutical
industry dealing with drug therapies for AIDS with contributions
from world leaders like Bill Clinton
and Bishop Desmond Tutu.
Women are featured in many of
our films, women from Alaska,
Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala,
Morocco and Rwanda. For those
interested in the law or the justice
system, see Gideon’s Army or
NCR: Not Criminally Responsible.
Gideon’s Army follows several
public defenders as they work
relentlessly for their clients and
NCR exposes us to the experience
not just of someone who has
been deemed to be not criminally
responsible but also the experience of a person and family who
have suffered violence through
the actions of the NCR.

year, check out our website for

Business Focus: Days Gone By Bakery
By Marilyn Simpson, The Highland Heart
The Highland Heart is delighted to bring you a look at a new or unique business located in Antigonish or Guysborough counties. Not only is it important to support the area economy by shopping local, it is also very practical
with so many wonderful shops and services available. Business Focus is provided at no cost to participating businesses by The Highland Heart Weekly as our contribution to the local community.
Days Gone By Bakery began operation December 4th, 1998. Located in the beautiful ocean front
community of Guysborough, owners, Aldona and Fabian gradually
expanded this lovely three prong
business into what it is today, a
fully licensed Restaurant, Bakery,
and Antiques/Gift Shop.
The day begins early at Days Gone
By, when Greg Favaro (resident
baker) starts at 4am baking
breads, muffins, tarts, scones,
and more recently, crescent rolls
for the daily clientele. A staple at
the bakery is the daily fresh
baked breads, my favorite being
the yummy porridge bread. They
also feature a variety of loaves
(lemon, banana, and cranberry),
cookies, drop cookies, squares,
brownies and my all time favorite
date square. “Starting in the Fall,
we will look at experimenting with
new recipes”, states Aldona.
However she always has the community in mind, taking into consideration their likes and dislikes,
and strives to keep prices reasonable for the local citizens. The
baked goods are all made from
scratch with no preservatives
added, a healthy choice just like
your grandma used to make.
Many renovations have taken
place over the years at the facility,
even as recently as this Spring
when they decided to remove a
stairwell and combine two rooms
to add to the ever growing bakery.
The result is beautiful, and the
décor is reminiscent of a 50’s
soda shop, with lots of teal and
frothy pink colors, with cupcake
paraphernalia everywhere. It
takes you back to an earlier time
or (days gone by), the overall
theme for the entire operation!
The extensive Antiques and Gift
Shop is chock full of many interesting things. Aldona makes 4-5
product shopping trips per year to
Maine to purchase stock for the
shop. They also buy antiques and
small vintage pieces from people
in the surrounding area. Stepping
into the theme room within the
Antique Shop immediately takes
you on a journey back to the 50’s
and 60’s. A jukebox, a red tricycle complete with handle bar
tassels, black and white tiled
flooring, an old style Coke machine, a microscope and lab set,
and a myriad of kitchen knickknacks’ from that bygone era line
the shelves.

selection of home cooked meals,
with favorites such as corn chowder, fish chowder, all day breakfast, pan fried haddock, and a
scrumptious pie selection. Upon
request they can provide a sandwich and sweet tray for those
lunch hour meetings and events.
Another favorite for those who
don’t like to cook is the “take
home” lasagna.

Syliboy’s Thundermaker Exhibit in N.S.
Media Release from Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library (PARL)
Partnership with public libraries brings Syliboy’s Thundermaker exhibit to Nova Scotia
(Sept 22, 2014) - Antigonish, Nova Scotia:
Alan Syliboy’s ‘Little Thunder’ character is well-travelled. Among many places, he was on the West Coast for
the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, then to the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton in 2013. This time, ‘Little
Thunder’ is making a local presence as part of Syliboy’s Thundermaker multimedia art exhibit, on display at
public libraries throughout Nova Scotia.
Through this exhibit, which uses static and multimedia displays of Mi’kmaq motifs and consists of panels
and a wigwam, people can experience an important part of legend told from an artist’s perspective. They can
watch Syliboy’s ‘Little Thunder’ character transform into the Thundermaker, learn about the role his parents
and the Mi’kmaq community play in his upbringing, and watch him make thunder for the first time; all at
their local public library.
“Join us for Little Thunders big moment when he becomes the Thundermaker, and the boy becomes a man,”
says artist Alan Syliboy.
“For us, to give people an amazing opportunity to experience a Mi’kmaq legend first-hand through Alan’s
artwork is very exciting for us - books aren’t the only way to learn more about Mi’kmaq culture and sharing
stories play an important part in preserving the past as well,” says Eric Stackhouse, Chief Librarian for the
Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library and lead on the provincial project.
In 2007, Alan took part in creating illustrations for the novel "The Stone Canoe: Two Lost Mi'kmaq tales,"
which inspired him to continue his use of the Little Thunder character throughout his works, even co-writing
a song with Rachael Henderson for his band Lonecloud, called "Little Thunder." In 2009, Alan collaborated
with Nance Ackerman and Paton Francis to create the animation Little Thunder for the Vancouver 2010
Olympics which presented the ‘Little Thunder’ character in motion.
The Thundermaker tour, funded with support from the Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture and
Heritage, will be starting in Antigonish. The official launch for the exhibit will be Tuesday, October 7th at
2:00pm at the Antigonish Town and County Library, where it will be on display until October 24 th. The exhibit
will be on display at public libraries until June 2015, for more detailed information about the tour visit
