Published October 6, 2004 in the paper edition of The Journal of the San Juan Islands on p. 17A as "Oysters -- an invasive tale in the San Juans." Environmental information article about the growing population of non-native Pcific oysters on San Juan County shorelines, explaining that this is not the native oyster making a comeback, but an invasive species out of control.
Mills, C. "Letter from Claudia Mills re her appeal of the Conditional Use Permit for the new solid waste facility" posted October 1, 2003, San Juan Islander - online daily newspaper for the San Juan Islands at sanjuanislander.com.
Mills, C. "Letter from Claudia Mills regarding site of proposed transfer station on San Juan Island" posted July 21, 2003, San Juan Islander - online daily newspaper for the San Juan Islands at sanjuanislander.com. Short essay about problems with proposed new transfer station.
Mills, C. "Claudia Mills explains her comments [on not wanting improvements to ferry service]" posted February 1, 2003, San Juan Islander - online daily newspaper for the San Juan Islands at sanjuanislander.com. Short essay explaining why I believe that the San Juan Island lifestyle relies on poor (not improved) ferry service.
Mills, C. "What's up with all those red jellyfish, anyway?" posted online October 15, 2002, The Journal of the San Juan Islands at sanjuanjournal.com and Islandsweekly.net. Reprinted October 6, 2004 in the paper edition of The Journal of the San Juan Islands on p. 17A as "What's up with those red jellies?" Environmental information article about the sudden presence of many jellyfish stranded on the beaches of San Juan County, with background information about local oceanography.

Mills, C.E. "Purple varnish clam - a new alien." September 1, 1999, The Journal of the San Juan Islands, p 5A. Information article about the recent invasion of an asian clam into San Juan County and elsewhere in Washington State.
Mills, C.E. "No proof green crab creeps islands' shores." July 21, 1999, The Journal of the San Juan Islands. Opinion piece giving information on the green crab invasion in Washington State, correcting a highly inaccurate news brief published in the same paper the previous week.
Mills, C. "Establish more reserves to protect bottom fish and angling." November 5, 1997, The Journal of the San Juan Islands, p. 7A. Opinion piece urging fishermen and other citizens to take a stand in helping to protect both the disappearing bottomfish and recreational fishing in San Juan County.
Mills, C. "Ferry reservation system beats more parking lots." February 14, 1996, The Islands' Sounder (and The Journal of the San Juan Islands). Opinion piece describing the concept of a "virtual parking lot" system that would allow persons waiting for ferries to line up electronically rather than by physically putting their cars in line in a parking lot, and thus saving hours of waiting time that could be put to more enjoyable purposes. (A brilliant idea whose time still has not come.)
Mills, C. OVERHEAD AND UNDERFOOT. 1980-1982, The Island Record, San Juan County, Washington. Weekly bylined newspaper column about natural history (mostly terrestrial) and astronomical events of interest to residents of San Juan County, Washington.

COVER PHOTOGRAPHS:
2003 Friday Harbor Labs Bulletin and course schedule.
2002 University of Washington Research Center Calendar. Not quite the cover, but Aequorea was Miss January.
2001 Catalogue - COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY PRESS. Cover photo of Aequorea victoria, from which the gene encoding Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) was cloned.
MOLECULAR CLONING, A LABORATORY MANUAL. THIRD EDITION, VOLUMES 1, 2, and 3, (by J. Sambrook and D. Russell) 2000. Cover photo of Aequorea victoria, from which the gene encoding Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) was cloned.
SCIENTIA MARINA, December 2000, Volume 64, Supplement 1. Cover illustration (pen and ink drawing) of the life cycle of the American west coast jellyfish Halimedusa typus.
PACIFIC NORTHWEST MAGAZINE (Sunday Supplement to the Seattle TIMES), 27 June 1999. Cover photo of Aequorea victoria, again unfortunately interpreted by the editors as an image of bioluminescence when it was merely a very nice reflected light flash photograph.
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, February 1998, Volume 12, Number 1. Cover photo of an undescribed midwater jellyfish, in illustration of an article by Mills and Carlton calling for open ocean marine protected areas.
TRENDS IN GENETICS, August 1995, Volume 11, Number 8. Cover photo and pull-out poster, same issue. Photograph erroniously attributed to Douglas Prasher, who seems to have conveniently forgotten that he didn't take this photo of the jellyfish Aequorea. (The journal subsequently published a correction/apology for attributing my photo to Dr. Prasher.) The reflected-light (from my camera strobe) image of a jellyfish was also passed off as green fluorescence, and erroneously dyed green for the cover by someone who did not understand jellyfish fluorescence or bioluminescence. This and other myths about organism level bioluminescence can be further explored at the Bioluminescence Web Page.

San Juan Islander, April 3, 2004. I sued San Juan County (Washington) in 2003-4 for their plans to expand the garbage facility, which did not take into account either the County Code (laws), state stormwater drainage regulations, or environmental consequences of paving over forested land designated as Agricultural Resource Land, that also happened to slope down, bridging uncapped portions of a recently-retired landfill and the largest wetland system in the San Juan County. Although this newspaper article gives what I feel is rather negatively-slanted coverage, saying that only "one person" did not support this project, another way to look at it is that one person really can make a difference occasionally, given enough fortitude, time and money. I won the suit on all counts on April 1, 2004, although this is a little hard to discern from the whiney online-paper coverage. Read the whole tale here and here.
