Even with sponsorships from Equity Bank and CS Bank, the Eureka Springs High Schools youth mountain biking team needs donations and volunteer help to get rolling.
High school teacher Shawna Miller said several students have signed up to join the team.
Its expensive to get the team started, Miller said, because each student needs a bike, safety equipment and insurance coverage. Theres a fee to register for races, Miller said, and inexpensive bikes cost $800 to $1,200 each.

The Eureka Springs Hospital Commission is still accepting proposals for a virtual chief financial officer.
On Monday night, treasurer Kent Turner said the commission has received one response to its request for proposals for a CFO. Turner said the commissions request for bids will end later this week, saying he expects to receive more applications. Turner asked CPA Brent Seay if hes going to apply and Seay said he plans on it.
It doesnt surprise me we havent gotten anything in yet, Turner said. It takes two weeks to put together a fairly decent proposal. I dont think we should just assume were not going to get anything else because it does take time to do that.
