The "pedestrian-oriented" shopping center is the first phase of a plan for the old Gateway School property.

The fastest member of the River Hill High School cross country team, Marshall Demaree, who has only one arm, follows in his sister’s record-setting footsteps.
“It was an unfortunate accident but he doesn’t dwell on it,” said Earl Lauer, coach of the River Hill cross country team, regarding his star athlete, Marshall Demaree. Demaree lost an arm six years ago. “I think he has accepted it. It hasn’t hampered him at all psychologically.” Apparently it hasn’t hampered him too much physically, either. Demaree, 14, a sophomore, bested the other 51 boys on his team during time trials held the first week of practice when he ran a mile-and-a-half in 7 minutes, 48 seconds. “I think I could get it down to 7:30 flat,” said Demaree, who admits to liking “competition, getting better times each race, and meeting my goals.” When Demaree was 8, he was in a car accident while on vacation in Florida. His left arm …
