Wednesday morning roundup 

• Check this out. Idaho Falls Police Chief Steve Roos, who was named to the job in November after Chief J. Kent Livsey was forced out, has written two books, "Deep Cover," published in 1995, and a sequel, "Double Jeopardy," published in 1997, both by the Mormon-owned imprint Bookcraft Inc.

• Here’s former Boise building inspector Lloyd Arnold named as the new director of aviation at Montrose Regional Airport, Colo.

Arnold, 34, and his wife, Brandy, moved to Montrose over the Thanksgiving holiday so they could get settled in before he started his duties running the airport, which had 79,627 enplanements this year and is projected to go over 92,000 in 2008.

• Idaho's roadless national forest lands not designated as wilderness could be opened to logging, mining, road building and other development activities under a draft plan the U.S. Forest Service released to the public last Wednesday, state and national environmental groups warn.

These areas are popular with hikers, hunters, anglers and other backcountry recreationists, and include large portions of the densely forested Clearwater country in north-central Idaho as well as wildlife-rich areas in the eastern part of the state near Yellowstone National Park.
