modest in getting this deal done." here's a look at the deal... in exchange for maintaining 500 research and development jobs... dow-dupont will get 16-million dollars in state aid. 2-million will come in the form of a forgivable loan. the rest is from tax credits. the city of johnston sweetened the deal by adding on to the tax break the company already receives. 5:08:05 "it's $1 million, it's actually an extension of our tax-increment financing that we already have with the company." dow-dupont is also cashing-in in delaware... the company decided to base its headquarters in wilmington.... after the state offered a 5-year grant worth nearly 10-million dollars, and another nearly 4-million dollars in incentives tied to the creation of 4- hundred new jobs. the county is also kicking in 7-point-5 million dollars. the iowa utilities board needs

the proposed bakken oil pipeline. the three member board met friday to discuss details of the construction... maintenance.. and repair of the pipeline. they are trying to decide if the private developer should be allowed to bury the pipeline on land against the land owner's wishes. the board expects to make a final decision one of their next meetings... either the march 9th or the 10th. the first deadline at the iowa legislature has come and gone. one bill to expand autism insurance is advancing this session.... after several failed attempts. channel 13's jodi whitworth reports. 193706 m a r i o... there is an owhen it comes to fighting for a child well its just a really difficult thing to get funded the battle is ongoing for the lust family... children of state employees have had coverage for 5 years now and we would just like the same coverage - - if you need help with paper

"earlier this week, the district received a report making certain allegations against the superintendent. the allegations releated to off- duty matters. there is no evidence that any persons have been harmed." the story county sheriffs office tells us they are not actively investigating ellingson. some folks in warren county have had it with the condition of their roads... they say this is a common sight.... large pot holes, no gravel with a lot of mud, and impassable conditions. the county engineer blames the weather and says his department is operating on very limited funds. but drivers say the roads are dangerous and the county needs to fix them... now.

coming up in sports, the finals are set at the state wrestling tournament and a huge game for dougie mcbuckets the title of "teacher's pet" doesn't always have a positive

but in northern wisconsin, one teacher's actual pet, is helping students through challenging times and changes. lane kimble shows us how. every morning, you can count on the school bell to deliver excitement for some kids... ...and anxiety for many others. "which one do you like better?"but at tomahawk middle school... ...you can always count on another "bell"...

"you immediately, i see kids, 'oh, bell's here!' and they get the biggest smile on their face." three or four days a week, bell the therapy dog does what she does best... joining middle school students in class to listen, eat and just be there. "she just enjoys being around as many people as possible and just has lots of love to share." special education teacher alyssa zimmerman originally got bell as a pet nearly two years ago. she trained the well-behaved lab as a therapy dog out of her own pocket and asked the school if bell could become the newest..."faculty" member. "there to help and to bring a calm atmosphere and for them to pet her, of course, but i didn't want to take their attention off of the teacher."

"if they're having a bad day, sometimes they pay a visit to bell as well." principal paul kurth helped zimmerman and the staff figure out insurance coverage and allergy concerns... and get approval from the superintendent. "middle school is a hard time to be in school and the pressures of grades, pressures from home, as you walk in the hallways or you're in the classrooms you can just kind of feel an extra calming in the building when bell is in the building." beyond soothing, bell's presence has helped improve social skills and grades. teachers say students are reading better thanks to practicing their reading to bell. "they're able to hear themselves read, picking up errors when they're flying through a sentence and they say

huge piece to reading." "when i'm stressed she comes over and lays right next to me. sometimes she'll lay on me." bell helps
