Helps replaces Griffiths


Scott Helps has been elected to take over as director for Zone 1 of the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board.

Carolynne Griffiths
He replaces Carolynn Griffiths who did not seek re-election. She was also chairman of the board, but faced adverse publicity when allegations in a court case indicated she had close personal relationships with Bill Gray, owner of L.H. Gray and Sons Ltd. and that a significant percentage of the undergrade eggs shipped from her farm were paid as Grade A by Gray’s company.

The allegations have yet to be tested in court. Gray has denied any wrongdoing.

Dianne McComb was re-elected director for Zone 2 and Roger Pelissero, brother of egg board general manager Harry Pelissero, for Zone 4.

More zone meetings and elections remain to be held.
