Soccer in Tasmania

Soccer in Tasmania describes the sport of soccer being played and watched by people in the state of Tasmania in Australia.

The governing body for the sport is Football Federation Tasmania is a member of the Football Federation Australia (FFA) which controls the sport at a national level. Soccer is growing in popularity in terms of participation (particularly among youth). According to the Australian Bureau of Statistic, soccer is the highest participation sport amongst Tasmanian children aged 5–14 years (17.5%), attracting 23.7% males and 10.9% females. In the past the game has received federal government funding. Soccer is also growing as a spectator sport. However Australian rules football is the dominant code of football in the state in terms of both media coverage and attendance.

Early history
The first recorded game took place in Hobart on 10 May 1879 when the Cricketers Football Club played a scratch match. The first recorded inter-club match took place a month later when the Cricketers took on New Town FC on 7 June (Hobart Mercury), described as English Association Rules. The first recorded reference to British Football (as it was known at the time of its introduction) being played in Tasmania was in 1898 when a team of merchant and navy seamen played an army team on the Domain in Hobart. The first recorded competition was established in 1900 when an organised league was set up comprising three teams - Trinity, Gunners and Sandy Bay. Due to the Boer War organised British Football did not last long but in 1910 it returned and not long after North vs South matches were started.

International teams visit Tasmania
In 1923 Southern China, a team from Hong Kong, visited Tasmania becoming the first international side to tour Tasmania. The Tasmania state team beat Southern China 2–1.

A number of matches against international visiting teams have been hosted in Tasmania. In 1951 a touring English Football Association team defeated Tasmania 11–0 at North Hobart Oval. Three days later at York Park, Launceston, the FA team won 17–0, Jimmy Hagan scoring eight goals. A club friendly at North Hobart Oval in 1957 is another example of a match featuring an overseas team. Although the match was an Australia XI team vs Hungarian club Ferencvárosi TC, some sources incorrectly list it as a full international (Australia v Hungary).

In 1993 Japanese J-League side Nagoya Grampus Eight who at the time featured former England striker Gary Lineker toured Australia, training in Tasmania for a month, and playing a friendly against the senior Tasmanian state side. The Japanese side won the game 3–0.

Interstate clubs visit Tasmania
A National Soccer League game was held in Launceston, Tasmania in 2002 between Perth Glory and Melbourne Knights at Aurora Stadium. The match was a 1–1 draw and attracted a crowd of 5324 fans.

An A-League pre-season cup game was played in Launceston between Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United on 16 July 2006 at the same venue with Adelaide getting a 1–0 win, watched by a crowd of 6,834. A 2007 repeat of the Melbourne Victory, Adelaide United pre-season cup fixture saw 8,061 at Aurora Stadium. The result in 2007 was a 1–1 draw between the teams. The Melbourne Victory v Adelaide game continued in both 2008 and 2009. On 25 July 2010 Melbourne Victory hosted Central Coast Mariners in another preseason game at Aurora Stadium.

Bids to join national club competitions
Tasmania has never had a team in either the former National Soccer League or the A-League. A proposal for an NSL team began in February 2004, but was halted by the imminent disbandment of the league. Since the formation of the A-League, Tasmania has been cited as a future expansion proposition. In March 2008, a Tasmanian Football Taskforce was formed by a group of Tasmanian businessmen to investigate the formation of an A-League team. The working name of the group is Tasmania United FC.

World Cup aspirations
Football Federation Australia CEO Ben Buckley met with Football Federation Tasmania representatives in October 2007 to outline FFA's strategic plan for the game. Buckley stated that a FIFA World Cup qualifier match in Tasmania was a possibility.

Representative teams
There is currently no senior Tasmanian representative team, and since the restructure of the sport nationally, the focus of the governing bodies has been to enter a club into a national competition. FFT occasionally selects an ad-hoc team from local leagues to play against large interstate clubs such as against Central Coast Mariners in July 2010 and Melbourne Victory in 2012.

There are, however, regular junior state representative teams. Football Federation Tasmania sends male and female youth teams to national talent carnivals held annually. In November 2008, a Tasmanian youth team played friendly matches against A-League National Youth League teams from Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, Queensland Roar and Adelaide United. The Tasmanian team won three of the four matches.

Competitions
The numerous local clubs which play in local competitions are all amateur, with most clubs having multiple teams in male, female and junior competitions.

League system
Tasmania has sporadically maintained a statewide league. The first state league began in 1978 and ran until 1981, before recommencing in 1988 and running until 1999. FFT had plans for a new statewide league competition from 2006 however this did not eventuate until the NPL Tasmania, known as the T-League during planning commenced in 2013. The eight team statewide league was previously known between 2013 and 2015 for sponsorship reasons as the Victory League, since 2016 it has been known as NPL Tasmania. It forms a conference of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) which sit under the A-League nationally. As an NPL conference the winners (top of the table) qualify for the national NPL finals.

In the years where a statewide league was not active, a play off between the Northern and Southern Premier League winner was used to determine the Tasmanian champions. This method was first used in 1910. In 2009 the State Championship was changed to incorporate a 3-week knock out Final series consisting of the top 4 teams from the Northern and Southern Premier Leagues.

There has been varying systems of promotion and relegation in the South between the Southern Premier League and Southern League One. Currently the system consists of the top team from Southern League One being promoted the following year and the bottom team from the Southern Premier League being relegated. Promotion and Relegation doesn't exist in the North. Leagues below League One in the South (and associated reserve competitions) and below the Premier League (and associated reserve competitions) in the North are considered to be social in nature and generally consist of additional teams from clubs playing in the higher divisions.

Women's and junior competitions are also run in the North and South of the state by Football Federation Tasmania.

Statewide cups
There are male and female statewide knock-out cups (similar to the FA Cup) run annually with clubs from Northern and Southern Leagues. The male knockoutcup is named the Milan Lakoseljac Cup. The competition is as the name would suggest being a one legged (home or away) knock out cup (no group rounds). The competition consists of qualification rounds involving the weaker teams (from the lower divisions) who then are joined in the main rounds by the higher ranked teams. Since 2014 the Milan Lakoseljac Cup acts as a qualification for the national FFA Cup. In 2014 the winner of the Milan Lakoseljac Cup qualified Tasmania's sole entrant into the FFA Cup proper.

Pre-season cups
In the South pre-season cups are also run along graded lines (similar to the divisions of the regular season) known as the Summer Cup. This is a less prestigious title and is used mainly for preparation for the regular season. Similar cups are run in the North and North West known as the Steve Hudson Cup and North West Summer Cup respectively. The Steve Hudson Cup unlike most competitions in Tasmania is organised by the Launceston Soccer Club and not by FFT.

Youth cup competitions
The Main cup competitions for the Youth and Junior age groups are the Festival Cup held at Wentworth Park, Howrah and the Launceston Tournament (formally known as the Mano Cup) held at Churchill Park in Launceston.

Individual honours
There are two leading best and fairest awards given in Tasmania. The Vic Tuting Medal is the Southern award, while the George Dale Medal is awarded in the North.

Adelite

The rare mineral adelite, is a calcium, magnesium, arsenate with chemical formula CaMgAsO4OH. It forms a solid solution series with the vanadium-bearing mineral gottlobite. Various transition metals substitute for magnesium and lead replaces calcium leading to a variety of similar minerals in the adelite–duftite group.

Adelite forms variably colored (blue, green, yellow and grey) crystals in the orthorhombic crystal system. The form is typically massive. It has a Mohs hardness rating of 5 and a specific gravity of 3.73 to 3.79.

It was first described in 1891 from Värmland, Sweden. Its name comes from the Greek word for indistinct.

Geologic occurrence
Adelite has been found in ore deposits in Algeria, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the US.

Temple president

Temple president is a priesthood leadership position in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). A temple president's primary responsibility is to supervise the affairs of an LDS temple in both an administrative and spiritual capacity.

The president is assisted by two male counselors and together they compose the temple presidency. Normally the wife of the temple president serves as the temple matron, and the wives of the president's counselors as assistants to the matron. The matron and her assistants share in the responsibilities of the temple presidency. All members of a temple presidency are ordained high priests of the church.

Selection
Temple presidents and matrons, the president's counselors, and the matron's assistants are appointed by the First Presidency. Their background in church leadership varies, yet they are couples who are considered by LDS Church leaders as spiritually mature and capable of handling both the administrative and spiritual matters necessary for the successful operation of a temple.

During a training seminar for new temple presidents, held in the Salt Lake Temple, Thomas S. Monson told a group of newly selected temple presidents and their wives:

"'We looked over the entire Church. ... We looked for men of God, wherever they might be. We found willingness to serve – not putting yourselves forward to volunteer, but being willing to serve. What a sweet experience this has been.'"

They may be selected from a geographical area near the temple or from another area. In larger temples, the president and matron usually serve for a period of three consecutive years. In smaller temples, they "have an indefinite period of appointment." Most temple presidencies serving in smaller temples are selected from church membership living within the temple district.

Administrative responsibilities
The administrative responsibilities of a temple president include ensuring all ordinances are performed by proper authority and documented correctly; securing a sufficient number of ordinance and service workers to meet the needs of temple patrons; overseeing the instruction of patrons, ordinance, and service workers; maintaining relationships with local church leaders; overseeing budgetary matters, property, and temple maintenance; and in larger temples the operation of cafeterias and visitor centers.

Spiritual responsibilities
For Latter-day Saints, temples are considered literal houses of God the Father and Jesus Christ, a sacred space where mortals may commune directly with heaven. As such the greatest responsibilities of the temple president are those associated with LDS concepts of expanding divine contact within the temple. They include setting apart ordinance and service workers by the laying-on of hands; submitting recommendations to the First Presidency for counselors in the temple presidency and for additional sealers; performing ordinances; instructing first time patrons and youth groups on the sacred nature of temple work; privately answering various doctrinal and personal questions presented by temple patrons and workers; ensuring that the reverence and harmony required for temple worship is constantly maintained; and seeking inspiration and divine guidance on every aspect of his duties.

Additional responsibilities
Temple presidents and matrons, or their representatives, attend stake conference meetings within the temple district. They sit on the stand and are often invited by the presiding authority to speak to the congregation. In these and other speaking assignments the topic is typically devoted to matters central to temple worship and devotion to deity.

Adelita (turtle)

Adelita is the name of the first sea turtle tracked across an ocean basin, the northern Pacific Ocean. A satellite tag was placed on Adelita, a female loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), in 1996 by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols for a research project.

The Adelita tracking project provided the first proof of the trans-Pacific migration of loggerhead sea turtles. Adelita was also the first animal to swim across an ocean while being tracked by a satellite.

The 9,000 mile journey of Adelita from Mexico to Japan was featured in the PBS Nature documentary Voyage of the Lonely Turtle. The documentary follows Adelita as she returns to her birthplace in Japan to lay her eggs.

Phoenix Shot Tower

The Phoenix Shot Tower, also known as the Old Baltimore Shot Tower, is a red brick shot tower, 234.25 ft tall, located near the downtown, Jonestown (also known later as Old Town), and Little Italy communities of East Baltimore, in Maryland. When it was completed in 1828 it was the tallest structure in the United States.

The tower was originally the "Phoenix Shot Tower", then the "Merchants' Shot Tower", and is also sometimes called the "Old Baltimore Shot Tower". It is the only surviving shot tower among four that existed in Baltimore. The structure was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 11, 1971 and as a local Baltimore City Landmark on October 14, 1975.

The Shot Tower lends its name to the nearby Shot Tower/Market Place station on the Baltimore Metro subway system's northeast line. The original basketball team Baltimore Bullets was named in honor of the tower's role in producing shot, as was the team that became the Washington Wizards.

Design
The tower was built by Jacob Wolfe using bricks manufactured by the Burns and Russell Company of Baltimore. Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a Roman Catholic lay leader, wealthiest man in America at that time and the only surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, laid its cornerstone on 4 July 1828. It was completed the same year.

The circular brick structure's walls are 4.5 ft thick from the bottom to about 50 ft up; then they narrow in stages of 4 in each, until reaching a thickness of 21 in at the top.

Production
Molten lead was dropped from a platform at the top of the tower, through a sieve-like device, into a vat of cold water at the bottom of the tower to produce "drop shot" for muskets. When hardened, dried, and polished, the shot was sorted into 25-pound bags. The annual production was about 100,000 bags of shot, with the capability of doubling that in case of high demand.

The tower stopped producing shot in 1892, when a new method of making shot made the tower obsolete. It re-opened for a brief period of production at the beginning of the twentieth century, and then closed for good.

History
The tower remained the tallest structure in the United States until 1846, when Trinity Church, New York on Wall Street was erected, and the tallest in Baltimore until the completion of the spire of the First Presbyterian Church at West Madison Street and Park Avenue in the Mount Vernon-Belvedere neighborhood in 1875.

The shot tower was originally owned by the Merchants' Shot Tower Company which closed in 1898.

In 1921 the tower was purchased for $14,500 by the Union Oil Company, which planned to tear it down and put a gas station in its place. After strong objections by the community, by 1928 enough money had been raised to purchase the tower and present it to the City of Baltimore as one of its first preserved local historic landmarks. The tower was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 and a bronze plaque was attached to the tower's brick wall at the base. In the early 1980s, the management, exhibits, and tours were combined with those of the former Peale Museum. In 1985, other historic sites and homes were added to the newly created Baltimore City Life Museums system. The BCLM was closed in 1997, and in 2002 Carroll Museums Inc. was created to manage both the Carroll Mansion and the Shot Tower.

Talk:John B. Anderson

Untitled
This article really should have more complete information about his campaign platform in 1980. It would also be interesting to know who he supported in the 2004 presidential election. If anyone reading this knows anything about either of these things, please add it. Academic Challenger 04:10, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Two things
1. In "Radicals for Capitalism", it is asserted that the Libertarian Party in 1984 considered trying to get Anderson to run as a Libertarian. Anderson did well enough in 1980 that he would have qualified for federal funding had he run and the Libertarians were somewhat in disary following internal bickering.

2. I am not sure the Anderson race really was an example of IRV -- Reagan got more than 50% of the vote anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amcalabrese (talk • contribs) 01:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 07:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Dropping out of the House
The article suggests that Anderson didn't run for reelection for his House seat in 1980 because of the crowded field of candidates. It's more likely that he had to drop out because state law prevented him from running for two offices at once. Most states don't allow this, consequently most House members who run for President or Vice President have to leave the House to do so. Does anybody know for sure? --MiguelMunoz (talk) 00:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Something needs to be done about the severely unencyclopedic language in this article.
I mean, "the bloom was off the rose"? This isn't up to Wikipedia standards. 24.214.230.66 (talk) 05:23, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

 * So fix it. Location (talk) 07:30, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's that bad. It's a nice short read that sounds as if it's lifted right from a book on the 1980 election. Hopefully that's not the case... At any rate only a few things need changed: dropping some adjectives and any similes or idioms, making the tone more neutral(not POV, but language overall)
 * I think it's pretty well written and gave me a good idea of what his 1980 campaign was like start to finish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.99.129.177 (talk) 05:56, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I worked a little bit on the tone (e.g. "voters who had considered him a fair and moral fellow") as part of a series of changes I made in several parts of the article, tone that I assume is due to the use of the 2011 book by Mason cited in the references. The unencyclopedic tone needs further work.  72.244.200.41 (talk) 22:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree the language is very odd, not just the flowery stuff but it just seems off somehow. There are also an awful lot of uncited statements, making me wonder if there is some WP:OR here. --Nstrauss (talk) 02:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Its quite obvious that this was written not as fact, but as a story about John Anderson. Don Lyon, was not and would not be considered by any standard in the local area a fundamentalist. Written in a style that more a campaign article or auto-biographical summation. I'm sorry but this reads like a fifth grade novel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.193.72.15 (talk) 16:44, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

 * 4 years and still a mess. i wish people wouldnt add bad content. its so much harder to remove and rewrite, than to simply leave out until written properly. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:42, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Quote section
I removed the quote section because Wikiquote can cover that material. In fact, I just now created that entry. The material is not encyclopedic enough for this article. Binksternet (talk) 14:35, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

1980 Impact
This quote -- "Anderson's campaign turned out to be "simply another option for frustrated voters who had already decided not to back Carter for another term. Polls found Anderson voters nearly as likely to list Reagan as their second choice as Carter"" -- isn't supported in any way. The link is dead, and even if it was "alive," it's a link to 'Doonesbury!' If someone has a real link to a legitimate poll or study, post it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.202.206 (talk) 02:20, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes, that's more than a little POV; even supported, it should be replaced with the facts that support it, not summarised in a way that makes Wikipedia an opinion-post as well... whole point of NPOV is readers should have the facts and draw their own conclusions, one way or the other. Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:17, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes: According to a leading historian of third party races, Anderson's, by historical standards, very respectable 6.6% “tally drew far more votes away from Carter than Reagan.” J.

John Anderson in popular culture
Trudeau did a little more than just run several strips sympathetic to Anderson's campaign- he had Mike Doonesbury become one of Anderson's volunteers, canvassing and making phone calls on his behalf - more, however I think, to demonstrate how much current election law and practice (federally and in the various states) were biased in favor of the two existing major parties (none of whose Presidential candidates, once past their primaries, had to jump through the hoops that minor-party candidates had to in order to get on the ballots), than specifically, I think, sympathetic to Anderson - though there were, I think, one or two of those there also. Would have to check my collected Doonesbury editions (specifically, the one called "He's Never Heard of You, Either" - as in, Mike Doonesbury's response to "Never heard of him.") :) Schissel | Sound the Note! 04:14, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Religious beliefs - What is Anderson's denomination?
In the infobox of this article, it states that Anderson was a member of the Evangelical Free Church of America denomination. Are there any sources for this? If not, it should be removed. --1990'sguy (talk) 19:47, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Debate photo
The article has a photo of a debate from the 1980 campaign, listing Howard K. Smith as the moderator, at center. It is not Howard K. Smith. The Wikipedia article on Phil Crane (also a candidate in the photo) says the moderator in the same photo is Eric Sevareid, but I doubt that is true, either.Closedthursday (talk) 18:22, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The photo's file name says the moderator was Eric Sevareid. edited the caption on July 7, 2017 with the edit summary "Howard K. Smith was misidentified in a caption as Eric Sevareid. I corrected this error. I checked news clips from the 1980 Republican presidential debate in Chicago and confirmed it was Smith, not Sevareid who moderated the debate." Strawberry4Ever (talk) 18:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

I see Youtube videos featuring Reagan and Bush and Howard K. Smith at a League of Women Voters debate, much like the one pictured - even the same background sign. Yet the Youtube video has the candidates standing behind podiums, and Phil Crane and John Anderson are nor present, as they are in the photo. Is there is a link to the debate with four candidates, as shown on this article photo? And it seems that the moderator in the photo has a vest, whereas Mr. Smith in the Youtube video does not. Closedthursday (talk) 19:52, 9 December 2017 (UTC) Just now I found another Youtube video with the title "Road to the White House" which identifies the videos as part of the Texas primary. So the photo is from Chicago, and I am still wondering if it is Smith - which it might be.Closedthursday (talk) 19:58, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Viviana. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Viviana~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:20, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Video where Tiffany discusses this album and the time of her life around it
Album Diaries: Episode 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WeIDoBSQ9U

Seems like this ought to be linked somewhere in this article, but I'm not sure where... it appears "External Links" sections aren't much favored on Wikipedia these days.

It's the first in a series where she's apparently going to discuss each of her albums in order. *Dan T.* (talk) 20:48, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Song sample
Finally figured out how to upload and use a song sample properly. Hopefully, it's relevant to the "Music and lyrics" section and that it is 10% or less of the duration limit set by Wikipedia standards. Please let me know if I did something wrong because it is my first time doing this.

Edit: I was originally going to add "I Think We're Alone Now" as a sample, but the text about the song was at the end of the section, and I felt that "Feelings of Forever" would be a better choice. It was a hard one because there are a lot of songs in different genres. "Spanish Eyes" would've been a better choice because it is unique compared to other songs from the album, but oh well...

Martha's Vineyard Airport

Martha's Vineyard Airport is a public airport located in the middle of the island of Martha's Vineyard, three miles (5 km) south of the central business district of Vineyard Haven, in Dukes County, Massachusetts, United States. This airport is owned by Dukes County and lies on the border between the towns of West Tisbury and Edgartown.

It is the largest of three airports and the only one on the island served by airlines. In addition to service from six commercial airlines, it is used by a significant number of general aviation aircraft. The other airports on the Island are Katama Airpark and Trade Wind Airport.

The airport identifier MVY has entered into general use as an abbreviation for the island of Martha's Vineyard and is often used for non-aviation purposes.

Terminal and facilities

Martha's Vineyard Airport covers an area of 688 acre and has two asphalt runways:

 * Runway 6/24: 5,504 x 100 ft (1,678 x 30 m), ILS/DME equipped, with approved GPS approaches
 * Runway 15/33: 3,297 x 75 ft (1,005 x 23 m), has approved GPS approaches.

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2017, the airport had 40,555 aircraft operations, an average of 111 per day: 53% general aviation, 43% air taxi, 3% commercial, and <1% military. In November 2017, there were 72 aircraft based at this airport: 59 single engine, 12 multi-engine, and 1 helicopter. The terminal has a restaurant, passenger holding areas, check-in desks, and a small luggage claim. The ramp has the ability to hold up to 50 aircraft with about 15 spots reserved for commercial aviation. The air traffic control tower is open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm from May 15 - October 31, and from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm from November 1 to May 14.

The airport apron for commercial aircraft has one parking stand which has the capacity for seven Cessna 402 or Tecnam P2012 aircraft, mainly operated by Cape Air and Nantucket Airlines. There are also five larger parking stands for JetBlue Embraer 190 or A220-300 aircraft, American Eagle Airlines CRJ-200/CRJ-700/CRJ-900, Embraer 175 regional jets, and American Airbus A319, Delta Connection CRJ-200/CRJ-700/CRJ-900, Embraer 175 regional jets, and Delta Airbus A319, and Elite Airways CRJ-200/CRJ-700/CRJ-900.

During the summer, a seasonal tent is added to the airport where all TSA checked passengers will wait for flights, as the terminal does not have a permanent waiting area. The tent has two gates for all airlines and can seat up to 150 people. A small baggage claim is located on the left of the terminal, which is used for Cape Air year-round and JetBlue during summer months; other airlines have baggage located at the side of the aircraft due to the small capacity of the baggage claim.

Operations
Along with the TSA, the West Tisbury Police Department is in charge of the security of the airport, and the ARFF department is staffed by 10 full-time firefighters. The airport currently operates several fully functional emergency response vehicles.

History

The airfield was built in 1942 as Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Martha's Vineyard (NAAF Martha's Vineyard) to support the training of naval aviators before their deployment to aircraft carriers in the Pacific Theater. Thousands of men received six weeks of intensive training there. The installation was renamed "Naval Auxiliary Air Station Martha's Vineyard" in 1945, placed in caretaker status in 1946, and ultimately transferred to Dukes County in 1959.

The new terminal building, constructed in 2001, replaced an older wooden structure that was the original base operations building. Historical photos and memorabilia are mounted on the main hall's western wall near the restaurant entrance, and tell the story of the Navy squadrons posted there during the war.

Major construction was made in the airport during the 21st century. One major project was to shift 200 ft of runway 6 - 24 and renovate taxiways to allow jets such as ERJ-190 and CRJ-200 to operate at the airport. The airport also renovated their commercial ramp, adding one spot for JetBlue ERJ-190, and Delta Airline ERJ-145 and CRJ-200. They also renovated taxiways; they added a tent on the terminal as they do not have a terminal building prepared for their demand.

Over the years, American Airline stopped using their CRJ-200/CRJ-700/CRJ-900 to Martha's Vineyard because of demand, and started using their ERJ-175 operated by Republic Airways. The airport renovated its ramp again in 2018, adding five spots jets to Airbus A220. In 2020 Delta airline switched using their CRJ-200/CRJ-700/CRJ-900 to ERJ-175 operated by Republic Airways.

In 2017 a new firefighter department building was built next to the terminal building, replacing the old naval building.

The airport also renovated and reconstructed its main runway 6 - 24 in 2018–2019; the project cost around $10 million, including adding NO TAXI islands around the ramp. The runway was done and reopened in May 2019 with a Cape Air flight from Boston Logan to be the first aircraft to touch the new runway. In 2020 the airport repaved some areas on the ramp and added more markings.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport saw a dramatic decline in passengers, with only 15,000 people passing through their doors. American and Delta airlines resumed service in late June with their schedules operating by half of 2019. JetBlue resumed service back in July, but only with a concise schedule. This was the most challenging year for the airport, but demand increased in late 2020 and early 2021.

2021 was the busiest year thus far for the airport, as it had 65,992 passengers.

In 2022, Elite Airways pulled out of Martha's Vineyard and left the airport with a space for a new airline, which still no airlines have any interest in. In January American Airlines announced that it would begin seasonal service between the island and Chicago; later, they changed their summer schedule and added more flights to Washington D.C. In March 2022 Delta Airlines announced they would make twice-daily departures to John F. Kennedy International Airport and one daily departure to La Guardia Airport.

Later, JetBlue reduced their summer schedule to the island to about 15% due to pilot shortage, which postponed their Newark route to resume after Labor Day and cut some flights to John F. Kennedy International Airport. As a result, JetBlue was scheduled to only operate five times daily during the 2022 summer season.

The 2022 summer season at MVY was the busiest regarding the number of passengers. Delta Airlines increased their schedule to operate four times daily on the 76 seats ERJ-175; they also extended their season until October 10 from flights to La Guardia Airport. All other airlines were operating at the same schedule level as 2021 except for American Airlines, which increased their frequency to DCA airport up to fifteen times weekly and added a Saturday service to Chicago.

2023 was the airport's busiest year in history; the airport had an average of 80,000 passengers at the airport. Even though the airport had fewer planes coming to it, all commercial flights were at total capacity daily. The airport administration team said that the airport probably will not see the number of passengers increase due to the small terminal and its facility.

In 2024, JetBlue discontinued their flights to White Plains due to low demand. In the 2023 season, there were 7,200 passengers to White Plains. Tradewind Aviation will be the only airline to serve this destination. Also in 2024, American Airlines announced that they will return flights to La Guardia Airport daily from June to September. JetBlue will also now serve daily flights to Washington–National, increasing capacity from the 2023 season, which used to operate only Fridays - Sundays.

Still, the airport has space for one more airline since Elite Airways left the airport market in 2022. The community of Martha's Vineyard hopes that either United Airlines or Breeze Airways will fill the cap and introduce flights to White Plains and Newark, which would increase MVY market to NYC City.

Expansion
In 2021, the airport created a Capital Improvement Plan that cites the airport's significant problems during the peak summer months. The airport plans to renovate taxiways and the southeast and southwest ramps with new parking for aircraft. The airport is also considering expanding those ramps to accommodate more general aviation aircraft. In addition, the airport is working to become 95% carbon-free in the future, adding electric chargers for the new Cape Air Eviation Alice aircraft.

The airport will create new hangars for aircraft maintenance and expand its terminal to accommodate the high summer demand.

Terminal
Martha's Vineyard Airport Terminal has one of the most miniature terminals in Massachusetts, and it contains two gates, a restaurant, a ticket area, bathrooms, and baggage claim. During the summer months, the secure room is an outdoor tent where all secure passengers wait for flights. The TSA at MVY only contains one area to screen all passengers simultaneously. The ticket area contains about 12: two for JetBlue, two for Delta Airline, two for American Airlines, four for Cape Air, and two for any future airlines. The baggage claim is on the terminal's right side, near the car rental area. The restaurant and the management building are located on the left side of the terminal. The restaurant is located before the TSA, so there is no place for food after the TSA screening. Part of the building has pictures and airplane models of the airport in WWII.

Airlines and destinations
American Eagle operates seasonally from June till September using their E175; American Eagle can operate up to 5x a day out of MVY.

Cape Air/Nantucket Airlines operates the Cessna 402 and Tecnam P2012. They operate year-round, with some days operating 40 times a day at the airport in the summer season and others operating 10 to 15 times a day in the winter.

Delta Connection operates E175/E170 and Bombardier CRJ900 regional jets to both New York–Kennedy and New York–LaGuardia. They operate seasonally from around Memorial Day until late October.

JetBlue operates the E190 to Martha's Vineyard; JetBlue can operate up to 6x daily on peak season and 4x daily during the off-season. JetBlue will deploy its A220-300 beginning May 23, 2024.

Tradewind Aviation operates the PC-12 into Martha's Vineyard. They operate 15 times a day in summer and five times or more during winter.

Cargo
FedEx Feeder offers a year-round flight from Providence, during summer months cargo flight can go up to 5 times a day and one time a day in the winter, all cargo continue to their FedEx facility at the airport and then into their trucks for delivery.

Cape Air offers cargo flights to Boston and Hyannis year-round and adds seasonal cargo flight to New Bedford. Cape Air cargo is dropped off in terminal C on Cape Air ticker area in Boston or in the main terminal ticket area in MVY for Cape Air.

Historical airline service
Northeast Airlines served Martha's Vineyard beginning in August 1944, when it acquired Mayflower Airlines. By the 1950s it was the dominant airline at the airport. Air New England served MVY from the 1970s until 1981; Provincetown-Boston Airline (PBA), operating as a feeder for Eastern Airlines, served MVY in the 1980s. Bridgeport-based Atlantic Air served MVY in the mid-1980s before merging into Business Express Airlines, which continued service to MVY under the Delta Connection brand. Other historical carriers at MVY included Bar Harbor Airlines, Brockway Air, Catskill Airways, Edgartown Air, Executive Airlines, Express Air, Gull Air, Holiday Airlines, Island Airlines, New Haven Airlines, New York Air, NorEast, Northern Airlines, Spectrum Airlines and Trans East Airlines.

Accidents and incidents

 * On January 30, 2001, a Cape Air pilot and his only passenger were injured when a Cessna 402C crashed just short of the Martha's Vineyard Airport on a flight from T. F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island.
 * On September 26, 2008, a repositioning flight with no passengers on board departed Martha's Vineyard at 8:05 pm en route to Boston. Shortly after takeoff from runway 33, the plane went down about two and a half miles from the airport, killing the pilot, who was the sole occupant. Prior to this date, Cape Air had maintained a fatality-free record over its 18-year history.

Gonda Building

The Gonda Building is a medical building owned by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and designed by Ellerbe Becket Architects and Engineers.

It rises 305 feet (93 m) in 21 floors, and was completed in 2001. At the time it was the tallest building in Rochester, and was surpassed in 2004 by Broadway Plaza.

The Gonda building was the largest building project in the Mayo Clinic's history, the Leslie & Susan Gonda Building was constructed in three phases to a height of 21 stories. A fourth phase is planned for completion in the 2020s. Located at the heart of the campus, Gonda is the centerpiece of Mayo's integrated practice.

In 2018, the Mayo Clinic announced a $190 million expansion of the Gonda Building which will add 11 stories to its height, including four new floors of clinical space and a seven-story hotel expected to be completed in 2022, bringing its expected total height to nearly 500 feet, making it again- by far- the tallest building in the city. However, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mayo Clinic and developer Pontiac Land Group placed the project on indefinite hold.

The Gonda Building is physically conjoined on its South side to the Mayo Building although the floors do not match perfectly.

Vicki Van Meter

Victoria Louise Van Meter (March 13, 1982 – March 15, 2008 ) was an American aviator. She was known for setting several distance-flying records for child pilots. At the age of 11, she became the youngest pilot to fly east to west across the continental United States of America, and the youngest female pilot to cross in either direction.

Early life
Van Meter first manipulated the controls of an airplane at the age of 10. On September 20, 1993, at the age of 11, she made headlines when she flew from Augusta, Maine, to San Diego, California, in a Cessna 172. A year later, she flew a Cessna 210 over the Atlantic Ocean to Scotland.

She visited the White House and appeared on The Tonight Show.

Soon after her European flight Van Meter gave up flying.

In 2003, Van Meter was featured with 36 other female pilots in the traveling exhibit Women and Flight — Portrait of Contemporary Women Pilots, based on a book of the same name by Carolyn Russo.

Pursuant to the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 9, 1996, after the death of Jessica Dubroff, it is no longer legal in the United States (under 49 USC § 44724) to attempt to set records as a student pilot, which effectively means that some of the records set by Van Meter will never be broken by an American.

Personal life
Van Meter served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Moldova after graduating from Edinboro University with a degree in criminal justice. She worked as an insurance-company investigator and had made plans to pursue graduate studies.

Death
Van Meter died at her home in Meadville, Pennsylvania, on March 15, 2008, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 26. Her suicide surprised her family, who believed that she had been coping with her depression.

The Super Barbarians

The Super Barbarians is a science fiction novel by British writer John Brunner, first published in the United States by Ace Books in 1962. Written in the first person, the story gives an account of an Earthman's struggle to regain lost memories and to uncover the horrifying secret of the feudal society whose people used remarkably advanced technology to conquer Earth and its solar system.

Plot summary
For two generations humanity has been enslaved by the Vorra, a race of technologically advanced barbarians who had conquered space. On Qallavarra, the home planet of the Vorra, Gareth Shaw is an indentured servant of the House of Pwill, one of the giant city-states into which the planet is divided. As the only Terran on the estate, he is drawn into a seraglio intrigue by Under-lady Shavarri, the ninth wife of Pwill Himself, the overlord who rules the estate like a medieval duke. Shavarri's demand obliges Shaw to visit the "Acre of Earth", a ghetto-like enclave in the middle of a nearby city.

In the Acre humans lived in relative freedom because they provided services that the Vorra could not provide for themselves. Chief among those services was the maintenance and repair of machines brought from Earth for the Vorra to use. But the Terrans also provided certain chemical services and Shaw had been sent to obtain one of those.

Chased into the Acre by a Vorrish mob instigated by a squad of soldier-trainees, Shaw meets an almost equally hostile reception from three Terrans—Marijane Lee, her brother Ken, and their friend Gustav—who have rescued him from the mob. Seeing that he's wearing the livery of a Vorrish estate, they take him to Judge Olafsson, the voice of Terran law in the Acre. After being interrogated about his time on Qallavarra, Shaw leaves Judge Olafsson's court and completes his mission. He obtains from Hans Kramer, an apothecary, the love potion that Shavarri has ordered him to bring to her. Containing credulin, a drug that enhances suggestibility, the potion will enable Shavarri to manipulate Pwill Himself in her favor.

Returning to the Pwill estate, he is called to the Grand Terrace of the manor house, where he finds Pwill Himself and his primary wife, Over-lady Llaq, having an angry confrontation with their wastrel son, Pwill Heir Apparent. Pwill, Sr. tells Shaw that his son has become addicted to a drug that affects the Vorra much as heroin affects Terrans—coffee—and that he expects Shaw to ensure that no one in the Acre will supply his son with more coffee. Later Pwill, Jr. prevails upon Shaw to keep him supplied with coffee beans through his friend Forrel.

Soon after returning from the Acre and after his confrontation with Pwill Himself, Shaw begins to notice that he doesn't know things that he should know and that he knows things that, apparently, he shouldn't. He struggles to decode the meaning of that discovery and to regain lost memories, but has little success. After an encounter with the estate's whipmaster, he uses drugs obtained from Kramer to drive the whipmaster insane and thereby gains a reputation among the superstitious Vorra as a powerful shaman. One day he is taken to confront a rival shaman, who tells him that the Vorra acquired their hyperdrive-propelled starships and advanced weaponry by stealing them from another alien race. The shock of seeing the mummified remains of one of those aliens, still encased in a spacesuit, breaks a barrier in Shaw's mind and he begins to regain his lost memories, including why and how he lost his memories in the first place.

On the same day that he regains his memories he is told by Marijane to cut off Pwill, Jr's coffee supply. Shaw agrees, knowing that Heir Apparent's display of withdrawal symptoms will throw the House of Pwill into crisis and put his life into jeopardy. But before anyone can notice his withdrawal symptoms, Pwill, Jr. comes to Shaw's room desperately seeking coffee and attacks Shaw. In self-defense Shaw kills the young man and hides the body in a sewer. Heir Apparent's disappearance precipitates the desired crisis and Shaw comes under suspicion of having provided the coffee that kept the young man addicted. The night before he is to be tortured to death, Shaw is extracted from the Pwill estate by Marijane, Ken, and Gustav and taken to the Acre.

The next morning, convinced that his son has gone to the Acre in search of coffee, Pwill Himself leads four companies of his army toward the city, only to be ambushed by six companies of soldiers from the rival House of Shugurra. Soon thereafter the armies of ten other Houses join the battle and the Vorra are fully engaged in an all-out civil war, just as the Terrans had hoped.

In the Acre all of the Terrans on Qallavarra climb to the rooftops and watch as a Vorra starship descends upon the city. The ship has been hijacked by a specially developed robot that had been hidden in a cargo container and now the ship will take all of the Terrans back to Earth. There the ship's technology can be copied for use against the Vorra in the general Terran revolt.

Safe aboard the ship, Shaw sees the last piece of the puzzle fall into place in his mind. He realizes that the old shaman had lied to him about how the Vorra got their starships and advanced weaponry and he understands then that for the next century or so the Vorra will be the lesser of Earth's worries.

Reception
Floyd C. Gale of Galaxy Science Fiction rated The Super Barbarians three stars out of five.

Teacher's Pet (disambiguation) → Teacher's Pet – This is likely to be considered as an uncontroversial technical request since Teacher's Pet (disambiguation) page does not even indicate a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and Teacher's Pet redirects to the six-sentence Teacher's pet stub which is the sole entry with a lowercase "p" and is not even listed upon the dab page. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:10, 28 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Support per WP:DIFFCAPS, the generic meaning has 369 views but the other title case versions have 7,111[|Teacher%27s_Pet_(2004_film)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(TV_series)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(1958_film)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(1930_film)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(The_Following)|Teacher%E2%80%99s_Pet_(The_Proud_Family_Episode)|Teacher%27s_Pet_(novella)]. Its quite clear users capitalizing "Pet" are not looking for the generic meaning which is tagged for notability anyway.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 08:06, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. DIFFCAPS is generally pretty controversial and in my opinion never a good idea. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:27, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. It may be noted that for most of its nearly-18-year existence (created on 5 January 2005), this dab page did not use the parenthetical qualifier "(disambiguation)". During a brief period, between 5 March and 22 April 2008, it was unilaterally moved from "Teacher's Pet" to "Teacher's Pet (disambiguation)", then to "Teacher's pet (disambiguation)" and then to "Teacher's pet". On 8 September, it was moved to "Teacher's Pet" where it remained for nearly 13 years, until 6 July 2021, when it was again unilaterally moved to "Teacher's Pet (disambiguation)". Hopefully, this RM will engender a discussion aimed at establishing consensus. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:02, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Necrothesp. The long-term significant primary topic, for both the sentence case and the title case variant would be the concept described at teacher's pet. None of the topics mentioned on the dab page rise to a level of significance that would make me think otherwise on that. — Amakuru (talk) 10:15, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Even with the view difference and the fact the generic meaning article is only 6 sentences?  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:50, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. The Teacher's pet article is just a stub and will probably never be more than a glorified dictionary entry. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:29, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Shwcz (talk) 14:51, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose teacher's pet should probably be a redirect to favouritism or something but clearly is by far and away the primary topic for teacher's pet. So improve the article In ictu oculi (talk) 19:10, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
