art known as a dreamcatcher. It is to be presented at the Marysville School District offices to the community and to the Tulalip Tribes, according to a school district statement issued Sunday. The representatives are from

and may require reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero this century, a U.N. panel said Sunday (Around the World, Page A7). Climate scientists said the report is another wake-up call for the world.
