Iso-Britannia vastakumouksellisessa sodassa : turvallisuusjoukkojen käyttöperiaatteet Malaijalla (1948-1960) ja Keniassa (1952-1960)

Toisen maailmansodan jälkeisenä ajanjaksona Iso-Britannia joutui useisiin vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin konflikteihin siirtomaarakenteiden purkautumisen ja maailmanpoliittisen tilanteen johdosta. Tutkielma käsittelee Ison-Britannian turvallisuusjoukkojen käyttöperiaatteita vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin konflikteissa Malaijalla vuosina 1948–1960 ja Keniassa vuosina 1952–1960. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan kvalitatiivinen tutkimus. Tutkimusmenetelmänä on käytetty lähdeaineistoon perustuvaa sisällönanalyysia. Lähdeaineisto koostuu pääsääntöisesti ulkomaalaisissa sotakouluissa tehdyistä opinnäytetöistä sekä tutkimus- ja aikalaiskirjallisuudesta. Lisäksi lähteenä on käytetty Britannian asevoimien ohjesääntöjä vastakumouksellisesta sodankäynnistä. Britannian vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin taisteluoppi korosti sodan poliittista ratkaisua. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeisessä taisteluopissa uhkamalli muodostui Mao Tse-Tungin oppien mukaisesti taistelevasta kumouksellisesta liikkeestä. Malaijalla ja Keniassa kumouksellisen toiminnan raamit olivat monin osin yhtenäiset. Kapinalliset pystyttiin määrittämään selväksi vähemmistöryhmittymäksi koko kansakunnan osalta. Kapinallisten toiminta- aluetta olivat pääsääntöisesti maiden rajojen sisäpuolelle rajoittuvat harvaan asutut viidakko- ja metsäalueet. Britannian turvallisuusjoukkojen toiminnan perustana ollut ohjesääntö määritteli turvallisuusjoukkojen tärkeimmäksi tehtäväksi kumouksellisten eristämisen väestöstä, minkä avulla kumouksellisilta riistettiin toimintansa kannalta elintärkeät resurssit. Poliisivoimilla sekä paikallisesta väestöstä perustetuilla kodinturvajoukoilla kontrolloitiin ja valvottiin asuttuja alueita sotilasvoimien suorittaessa operaatioita viidakko- ja metsäalueiden laitamilla ja syvyydessä. Samanaikaisesti toteutetut uudelleenasuttamisen ohjelmat ja elintarvikkeiden säätelyt vaikeuttivat kapinallisten tukeutumista väestöön ja pakottivat heidät vetäytymään syrjäseuduille. Tutkielman tärkeimpänä havaintona voidaan pitää turvallisuusjoukkojen käyttöperiaatteiden yhtäläisyyttä Malaijalla ja Keniassa. Turvallisuusjoukkojen rakenne ja periaatteellinen käyttö noudattivat molemmissa konflikteissa samaa kaavaa perustuen Malaijan alkuvuosien havaintojen pohjalta laadittuun käsikirjaan. Turvallisuusjoukkojen käyttöön vaikuttaneet asteittaiset toimenpiteet kapinallisten eristämiseksi väestöstä, johtaen aina heidän voimiensa lopulliseen tuhoamiseen, olivat käyttöperiaatteiden kannalta ohjaava tekijä. Konflikteista saatujen havaintojen perusteella pystyttiin määrittelemään turvallisuusjoukkojen toimijoille selkeät roolit ja tehtäväkentät kriisien eri vaiheissa.

Royal Canadian Henley Regatta fonds, 1948-1983 (non-inclusive)

In 1903, the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsmen had their request granted to make the Old Welland Canal at Port Dalhousie the permanent site of the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. That same year organized rowing was established in St. Catharines when the St. Catharines Rowing and Canoe Club was formed. The Henley course was completed in July of 1903 after rowing was well underway. Although the Henley course served as an athletic and social event, rowing itself was slow to grow in the St. Catharines area. In 1915 the Regatta was cancelled for the duration of WWI and reinstated in 1919 when an increased public interest in the sport began to grow. Two years later, the Henley Aquatic Association was formed in order to control, maintain and improve the rowing facilities. This association was responsible for building a new clubhouse at Ann Street in 1921 and in 1931 completing the grandstands. Also in the 1930s the association had the Federal Government approve their appeal to have the Henley waters dredged for the first time. The St. Catharines Rowing Club re-located its headquarters to the Lakeport Road site. The 1940s brought more support from local groups and with that more events. In 1945, the St. Catharines Junior Chamber of Commerce began helping to organize and promote rowing locally. One of the new events at the Henley course was the "Schoolboy Championships". The growth of both rowing and the Henley continued growing through the 1950s. The Henley Aquatic Association acquired Reid's Island, now Henley Island, mainly through the efforts of Ted Nelson. In the 1960s, rowing really took off in St. Catharines. Women began to become recognized in the sport when Brock University created a women's rowing team. The second dredging was completed in 1964, leading to the creation of a world class rowing course. The facilities were upgraded to international standards and the Henley rowing course became Canada's first Class A FISA (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d’Aviron or International Federation of Rowing Associations) rowing course. The first North American Rowing Championship was held at the Henley course in 1967 and again in 1970 for the third championship. The Canadian Henley Rowing Corporation formed in 1972, along with the St. Catharines, Parks and Recreation Department created the first rowing school for youth. Since 1960, St. Catharines has been at a competitive level with other International rowing courses. The city continues to produce Olympic level athletes today.

Niagara Symphony Orchestra fonds, 1926, 1948-1998, n.d.

In 1948, The St. Catharines Civic Orchestra was founded by Jan Wolanek who was also the first conductor. Initially, this was a community orchestra and in 1963 its governing body assumed the name St. Catharines Symphony Association. In 1978 the name was again changed to The Niagara Symphony Association to reflect regional responsibilities. Wally Laughton was named Assistant Conductor in 1952/53. R.C. Clarke took over the orchestra for an interim period after Wolanek left in 1957. In 1958 Leonard Pearlman became the Music Director. It was under his direction that the Niagara Symphony Chorus came into existence in 1963. Milton Barnes succeeded Pearlman in 1964 and he was responsible for directing the symphony’s first opera production. He also made a concerted effort to attract younger people to symphonic music. In 1972 Leonard Atherton became the Music Director. He started the Cantata Choir and the Madrigal Singers. It was under his tenure that the orchestra became professional. When Atherton left in 1980, there were three seasons of guest conductors, the most notable of these conductors was Uri Mayer. In 1981 James Vincent Fusco was appointed as composer in residence and in 1983 Ermanno Florio became the Music Director. He retained this position until 1995 when Michael Reason took over. Daniel Swift was appointed as Music Director and Conductor in 1999 and the Niagara Symphony Orchestra became the orchestr in residence at Brock University. Laura Thomas was appointed as Associate Conductor 1n 2004. Daniel Swift’s resignation in 2008 began a search for a new Music Director. Bradley Thachuck was appointed as Music Director Designate and Principal Conductor in 2010. The orchestra is a fully professional, charitable institution with 52 members.The orchestra has also been led by Victor Feldbrill and Howard Cable. A junior symphony was first formed under Leonard Pearlman in 1960/61, but it wasn’t until 1965 that The St. Catharines Youth Orchestra was founded. The orchestra has consistently been an award winner in music festivals. The musicians range in age from 12 to 18 years. The highlight of the 1973-74 season was the orchestra’s participation in the first Canadian Festival of Youth Orchestras at The Banff School of Fine Arts. The St. Catharines Youth Orchestra has evolved from the St. Catharines School String and Brass Ensembles to a full scale symphony under the direction of conductor Paul van Dongen. In 1974 the Symphony House music program came into existence. It was 1976 when Richard Grymonpre was hired as the principal violinist of the St. Catharines Symphony Orchestra and conductor of the St. Catharines Youth Orchestra. Tak Ng Lai took over the position as conductor in 1978. Laura Thomas is currently the Music Director of The Niagara Youth Orchestra.
