Orders will be accepted through Tuesday, May 1. The sale features 10 varieties of trees, six shrubs and four fruit plants. Each year, city staff selects plants that are well-adapted to local growing conditions and resistant to pests and diseases. They serve as good replacements for ash trees affected by Emerald Ash Borer or invasive species, such as buckthorn. They also provide food and shelter for pollinators, butterflies and other wildlife. Most of the trees are 5-6 feet tall at the time of purchase. Some species come in pots, but most are bare-root, which means they do not have soil on the roots. Bare-root trees cost less, are easier to transport and have up to 200 percent more roots than the traditional balled and burlapped plants. They are also easy to plant. Tree and shrub orders will be available for pickup 3-6 p.m. Friday, May 11 and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 12 at the Plymouth Maintenance Facility, 14900 23rd Ave. N. Leftover trees will be sold 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 12 at the Maintenance Facility. Get Help Choosing the Right Plants Before placing an order online, residents can get help choosing the right trees, shrubs and fruit plants for their yard. City forestry staff will be available to offer advice and answer questions about this year’s plant selections at the following events. • Tree and Shrub Sale Preview – 6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1 at Plymouth City Hall, 3400 Plymouth Blvd. • City Sampler – 9-11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 28 at the Plymouth Maintenance Facility.

Due to the popularity of the training sessions and limited space, early registration is encouraged. The one-hour training sessions are open to teenagers and adults who are interested in learning to help save lives. Participants can learn hands-only CPR, which teaches chest compressions without mouth-to- mouth breaths, as well as the use of an AED. An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable electronic device that automatically detects disturbances in the rhythm of a heartbeat and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. -More- Page 8 Heart Safe Plymouth Background The City of Plymouth was designated a Heart Safe Community in 2013 by the American Heart Association.

While the scams are not unique to Plymouth, residents may occasionally fall victim. IRS/Tax Scams A common scam around tax season, IRS or tax scam typically begins when a victim gets a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service. The caller tells the victim that he or she owes tax money to the IRS and must pay immediately. Scammers may leave urgent callback requests and threaten to arrest, deport or revoke the license of the victim. Scammers con victims into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card, wire transfer or gift card. Callers may use IRS titles and fake badge numbers to appear legitimate. They may use a victim’s name, address and other personal information to make the call sound official. Sometimes, the caller ID may even falsely show the origin of the call as that of the IRS, Hennepin County, police department or other reputable agency. The IRS – as well as any government or law enforcement agency – will never ask anyone to pay over the phone with a wire transfer, iTunes gift cards, prepaid money cards, or any other form of gift card. Grandparent/Kidnapping Scams Other common scams prey on victims’ relationships to relatives. Typically during the grandparent scam, criminals call a grandparent, claiming to be his or her grandchild. The victim is told that the grandchild is in trouble or in jail and needs money immediately. The victim is asked to not tell the grandchild’s parents. Another similar scam involves criminals calling parents and claiming that a child has been abducted. The victim is typically threatened and instructed to wire money immediately. Residents are reminded to do some research – call other relatives to verify a story or call a child’s school to confirm his or her whereabouts. -More- Page 10 Tips to Avoid Scams Be cautious with unsolicited calls and emails. Residents should be cautious whenever they receive an unsolicited email or phone call – especially if the sender claims to be from the Internal Revenue Service or any other government agency or financial institution. These messages may contain information that refers to a tax refund or warns about unreported income. They may ask users to submit personal or financial information via phone or email. Do research before clicking links. Similar scams may also be perpetrated via email, instructing the victim to follow a link to a website that requests personal information (phishing scam) or contains malicious code (malware or a virus). Before entering private data or clicking a link in an unsolicited email, first look up the agency’s number and do some research. Sometimes, scammers target immigrants. In these cases, the perpetrators will call immigrants and claim that they owe back-taxes – and threaten to deport them if they do not wire money right away. In other cases, perpetrators may claim that there’s a problem with an immigrant’s VISA and will also threaten deportation if funds are not promptly sent. Residents should follow these tips: • Be suspicious of requests or demands for pre-paid gift cards – legitimate businesses and government organizations do not ask for them. • Never reply to an unsolicited request for personal or financial information, or give out information over the phone without verifying the facts. • If a call sounds questionable, hang up and call the agency. • Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. To report a scam email claiming to be from the IRS or an affiliate, email phishing@irs.gov. • Maintain up-to-date antivirus software.
