Nice guy finishes first

Rancho Cucamonga voters not only returned both incumbent council members to office, they kept Jim Frost as city treasurer.

Frost, a former mayor and the city’s unofficial historian, with roots in Etiwanda going back to 1882, ran a characteristically low-key campaign, but he faced an energetic challenge by Ryan Orr for the largely ceremonial job.

Frost was openly worried. However, he crushed Orr, garnering 78 percent of the vote. I ran into Frost at Wednesday’s council meeting and congratulated him.

“I was shooting for 80 percent,” Frost quipped. “But oh well.”
