St. Monica rolls over Blair, 33-7 BY DANIEL ARCHULETA Managing Editor
CORSAIR FIELD Even without primary ball carrier Sean Martinez for much of the game, St. Monica’s offensive backfield was able to put in work during a 33-7 win over Pasadena Blair on Friday night at Santa Monica College. Fullback Kevin Holubowski carried much of the load with two runs for touchdowns and another score off a bad center exchange that opened the scoring for St. Monica.

The Mariners dropped a number of passes from new starting quarterback Luke Cain and were saddled with a number of penalties, which drove first-year head coach Adam Guerra crazy. He kept it in check, but he was obviously perturbed by his team’s uneven play. “We like to make it interesting,” Guerra said of the win. “We had a few breakdowns, we need to be on the same page.” The lone glaring St. Monica misstep took place when Blair quarterback Octavio Montoya scampered for a 63-yard keeper that made the score 12-7 in favor of St. Monica in the second quarter.

to look at Santa Monica Airport in a whole new light Tuesday when staff presents the findings of seven months of analysis examining the economic impact and potential of the 227-acre space. Tuesday's presentation represents the culmination of the first phase in a three-part process that the City Council launched in late February with the purpose of taking a hard look at airport operations in order to make educated decisions about the fate of the space in 2015, when officials believe they will have more control over what occurs on aviation land at the airport. The City Council gave the green light for three companies — HR&A Advisors, Inc., the RAND Corporation and Point C Partners — to move ahead with work looking at the economic impact of the airport in terms of job and revenue generation, land use and the opinions of community members regarding the future of SMO. The charge comes against the backdrop of decades of controversy revolving around the airport, its neighbors, and ultimately a struggle between the Federal Aviation Administration and City Hall for control of the property. City officials hope to use the information as part of a visioning process for the property, which will determine how the uses of non-aviation property will evolve and, potentially, how activities of the airport itself can be changed. At present, City Hall has total authority SEE SMO PAGE 10
