Behind counter of his flagship Diana Sweets stores, company president George Boukydis ponders the future of his $6 million a year enterprise. Stores stopped selling candy some years ago when firm's key candy maker retired after 45 years of service. An adequate replacement was not found and now, says Boukydis, it's getting tough to find pastry cooks. The supermarkets are stealing what few there are left.

Just park it: Greg Cotreau doesn't have much time for long-distance bicycle riding any more. That's because he's too busy spreading the word about the bicycle storage system his business is built around. The device was designed by a retired RCMP sergeant, Terry Smith, and it promises to end the clutter of bikes parked every which way.
