After months of hard work, 16 Grade 5 and 6 students from Bonanza School have delivered braille books to the library at Crystal Park School in Grande Prairie. What began as a visit from Mrs. Karen Beatty, teacher for the visually impaired through Peace Collaborative Services, has turned into 100 books translated into braille for students from Peace Wapiti Public School Division, Grande Prairie Public School Division, Peace River School Division, Holy Family Catholic Regional Division in Peace River and Northern Gateway Public Schools in Whitecourt to enjoy.

A worship leader and professional backup singer recently took centre stage while auditioning for The Voice.

The powerhouse singer sang Deborah Cox's 'Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here' and had all the judges asking her to join their team. 

“It’s very difficult doing this audition, but you just handled it with such poise and grace," said John Legend. "I don’t know if you noticed, but I was the first one who turned for you. Your tone is so elegant. Do you sing in church? You sound like you do.”

A young girl from Saskatchewan who was rushed to hospital a week ago is recovering. 

Last Thursday, Kyla Thomson reached out for prayer after being awoken by her husband calling out for help from her 10-year-old daughter's room. 

"Her body was limp. She couldn’t open her eyes. We called 911," said Kyla. "We’ve never had to do that before. The four previous times Bella had gone septic or dealt with anything scary, she was already in a hospital or stable enough for us to drive her there before things went downhill."

One of the CAIN sibling's children is making it clear that music runs in the family. 

On Thursday, the band posted a video of Madison's son, Calloway, copying his mother as she sang him different notes. 

The result was that her almost two-year-old son could match the pitch perfectly. 

Exodus 2:15–25

Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters who came as usual to draw water and fill the water troughs for their father’s flocks. But some other shepherds came and chased them away. So Moses jumped up and rescued the girls from the shepherds. Then he drew water for their flocks.

When the girls returned to Reuel, their father, he asked, “Why are you back so soon today?”

Jeremiah 7:7-8

"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit."

CN Rail has seen solid grain movement over the last couple of weeks. 

CN's Assistant Vice-President of Grain David Przednowek says they've moved over 525 thousand tonnes of grain per week.

"We expect that demand is going to remain quite steady here into early April, then we'll see what the market brings us. What the impact of starting to shift gears and think about spring seeding will do as well as the impact of road bands."

Weed management throughout the growing season is a key concern for farmers.

Kate Hadley, a Market Development Agronomist with Bayer says weed resistance is growing across the prairies with 60 per cent of herbicide-resistant wild oats now showing resistance to Group 1 herbicides.
