ELECTION 2019 ‘Human error’ cited as cause of Metra mess Delays result of worker falling on circuit board, which shut computers By Mary Wisniewski and Elvia Malagon Chicago Tribune

The commuting debacle at Union Station on Thursday was caused by Amtrak’s decision to upgrade its servers during peak service hours and a worker falling on a circuit board, which turned off the computers and led to delays that affected more than 60,000 Chicago-area commuters. The cause of Thursday’s incident was provided by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who spoke to Amtrak CEO and President Rich- ard Anderson. Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari did not dis- pute Durbin’s characterization. Durbin said Anderson admitted that Amtrak made a series of errors, the most significant of TERRENCE ANTONIO JAMES/CHICAGO TRIBUNE which was upgrading servers Natalia Alonso, 19, is a University of Illinois at Chicago freshman who did not vote in Tuesday’s citywide election; she had an exam. during its peak hours of service, rather than in the middle of the night when fewer trains are running. “They tried to do a server upgrade, sadly, in the middle of a Turnoffs and the turnout: busy day, exactly the wrong time to do it,” Durbin said in a phone interview Friday.

The governor’s proposed budget is a clear reaction to that, proposing: ■ A $100 million increase to the Early Childhood Block Grant (ECBG), which funds preschool and infant-tod- dler programs. ■ A $30 million increase to CCAP, bringing eligibility up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level (up from 185 percent). ■ A $7 million increase to funding for EI. ■ Flat funding (no cuts) for home visiting services.

Toews, 30, quietly putting together best season of his career By Jimmy Greenfield Chicago Tribune

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Toews won’t win any awards after the season, just as he didn’t make an All-Star appearance in the middle of it. Perhaps the Blackhawks captain will sneak into considerationfor the Selke Trophy — given annually to the NHL’s best defensive forward — which won after the 2012-13 season and for which he was a finalist three other times. Toews’ name just hasn’t been men- tioned in league circles the way it has for teammates Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat. And with good reason: Kane and DeBrincat are having the best seasons of their careers. But guess what? So is Toews. With 18 games remaining, the 30-year-old Toews has 66 points — 29 goals and 37 assists — 10 shy of his career-best 76 points in 2010-11, when he was 22. “Personally, I feel my skating, my puckhandling, my skill is as good as it’s been,” Toews said. “Going out there and creating plays, trying to create opportunities, maybe playing with more skill than I have. It’s not selling myself short. I can go out and make plays every single shift while being that two-way forward.

FIRE It’s quality over quantity

Roster shake-up results in fewer additions, but Fire see improvement

By Jeremy Mikula | Chicago Tribune

A new season is a fresh start, and for the Fire that’s a good thing. After a return — albeit a brief one — to the postseason in 2017, the Fire found 2018 to be filled with disappointments on the pitch and controversies off it. But going into Saturday’s season opener on the road against the LA Galaxy (7 p.m., FS1), things seem to be looking up for the Men in the Red. Here are five things to know heading into the new season.

The Fire made moves — lots of 1 them. President and general manager Nelson Rodriguez kept busy this winter with trades, transfers and use of MLS funny money — targeted allocation money, general allocation money and discretionary targeted allocation money.

Getting serious about off-roading with the Colorado ZR2 Bison

By Jim Resnick, New York Daily News

eing first counts. First place in racing wins the biggest prize, obviously. Being first to market with the next technological advancement beats a lucrative path to your door. B So perhaps part of the reason Chevrolet launched a serious off-roading edition of its popular midsized Colorado pickup truck is the very real fact that Ford re-launched the Ranger name in its midsized pickup. Combine that with a second very real fact: Jeep’s Gladiator midsize pickup also hitting the market. Together, these new competitors are chomping mighty close to the midsized home bone for Chevy. Midsizedpickups—agrowingsegment Chevy’s enjoyed almost no competition in the midsized pickup segment since launching the Colorado four years ago. And even if one thought Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) were slow to respond to this, the Ranger and Gladiator have already stolen this particular spotlight. Cue the new Colorado ZR2 Bison. Chevy’s new ZR2 Bison is an off-roader bedecked in the stuff of joyous mud- slogging and rock-climbing dreams. And it’s born of a size that makes actual trail-going and overlanding possible; full-size trucks are often simply too big and heavy to climb ev’ry mountain and ford ev’ry stream. Chevy also turned to off-road specialty equipment design and manufacturing firm American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) for the extra capacity to design and make parts that would enable greater capability from the basic Colorado ZR2. Hard-core midsized off-roading But first, let’s pause to delineate this truck’s mission. Whereas Ford’s big and famous F-150 Raptor is inspired by and aimed at higher-speed desert racing where rock climbing and slow-going are secondary, the Bison takes a more conventional off-road approach, where speed is pretty much last on the priority list and poor-surface traction, clearance, crawling, overcoming obstacles, and protecting the vulnerable parts of the chassis are primary. Chevy turned to AEV for certain protective armor because they could handle small production quicker than GM. The Bison’s AEV steel bumper sprouts large fog lights and also incorporates a mounting plate for an electric winch. Chevy also points out that a unique grille separates the Bison from lesser ZR2s. Large fender flares surround 17 x 8-inch black wheels and 31-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires. The Bison’s AEV steel rear bumper also incorporates big tow hooks. Underneath – and where the bulk of the hard-core bits live – five Boron steel skid plates cover both front and rear electronically locking differentials, the transfer case, the engine’s oil pan, and the fuel tank to protect them from puncture by boulders in the ground, flying rocks, and other fun-ending, off-road riskiness. Doing suspension duty are the ZR2’s Multimatic remote-reservoir dampers and hefty cast iron control arms. The Bison yields 3.5 inches of additional front and rear track and 2 inches greater ride height than the Colorado Z71. Comfortable on road as well Bisons use a standard, 3.6-liter gasoline V6 engine delivering 308 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque with the newer 8-speed automatic transmission or a more recently engineered turbocharged, 2.8-liter inline-4 diesel making 186 hp and 369 lb.-ft. of torque paired to a 6-speed automatic. Seems counterintuitive that the newer engine mates to an older transmission. The diesel drivetrain also comes at $3,500 extra. But with all the knobby and rough-and-tumble gear on the Bison, it’s actually more impressive that it does the on-road thing so well. It remains relatively quiet up to about 75 mph on the highway when the tires begin thrumming due to their aggressive tread patterns. It offers a flexible driving position for varied body shapes and does not beat you up with a stiff truckish ride. As you veer off the road, the Bison pleases. Loose trail surfaces pose no real challenge. It sweeps away even large boulders as long as you’re realistic with your expectations. I needed to lock the rear differential only twice over a whole off- road test alongside the Arizona Saguaro cacti. Indeed, those AEV-designed skid plates and protective gear did scrape on the rockiest bits thrown at the Bison. There’s no telling if the mechanicals they protected would have punctured and then failed, but that’s the very definition of insurance. A small part that would be a big help off-road would be a front-mounted camera. When cresting steep hills off-road, the driver can momentarily lose sight of the trail ahead. Cameras are cheap, capable, and the truck already has one doing back-up duty. Surely, it would be an easy task to network in a front camera. Other midsized off-roading creatures lurk The new Bison is very capable off-road and fulfills all its promises for a minimum of $48,045 in extended cab form. But other off-roading animals lurk. Toyota’s popular Tacoma comes as either a mild TRD Off-Road for $37,510, or a harder-core TRD Pro at $46,410. Ford will probably offer an off-roading package on the upcoming Ranger pickup. And finally, with the upcoming Jeep Gladiator looming in 2019, plus its capability to strip down some of its bodywork for open-air off-roading, the Bison will have to fight with some other burly off- road wildlife.
