Flint Hill Farm Educational Center dates to about 1850. The original source of water on the farm was through gathering water in the farm's three cisterns. One is near the barn, the other two are near the farm house. One of the cisterns is accessible through a well pump. The second was at the corner of the sun porch. During renovation, the access to that cistern was covered up. It is the desire of the Educational Center to resurrect that cistern and reconnect the drain pipes from the roof to it. The third cistern is supposedly under a wooden floor in what is now the tack room near the barn. Reclaiming these cisterns for their original purpose would be an excellent educational opportunity for students or a group in the community. The Educational Center, as a model of a sustainable farm to our local schools, would greatly benefit from having these again in working order. Individual or group would need to have knowledge of construction, use of tools, mason skills, and a willingness to be creative.

Bethlehem Special Olympics is in need of additional mentors for our athletes who are in leadership roles. We have several types of mentor roles available including working with our Athlete Leadership Team, Global Messengers, Athletes as a Coach and more. A mentor needs to be a supporter, adviser, guide, coach, teacher, someone who gives help and advice to help a person learn a role, and can give specified training in a particular subject or event and help empower the athlete. The mentor journeys with the athlete through observations, experiences, the Athlete Leadership Training Series/ALPs University coursework, and practical application of leadership skills. Together, they experience the evolution of an athlete leader. Building leadership skills is a partnership between an athlete and a mentor and one of the most rewarding experiences ever! As new challenges or skills sets are introduced to an athlete, the mentor modifies his/her level of influence as needed. There is no magic time frame for an athlete’s acquisition of knowledge, self-exploration and leadership skills. Every athlete is different in their rate of learning and development of their skills and self-confidence. Roles of Mentors Mentors’ roles are multi-dimensional and may include, but are not limited to, the following: Finds short-term mentor(s) to assist with athlete’s desired new role if mentor’s skill-sets do not meet the athlete’s need at that time such as becoming a coach or an official Moves between helper, speech coach, facilitator, advisor, confidant, teacher and friend as needed Works one-on-one during each course and monitors follow up tasks Ensures there are adequate opportunities to provide practicum experiences Commits to a partnership in making the ALPs experiences as meaningful as possible Is an advocate at all times Ensures athlete knows about training opportunities inside and outside Special Olympics Characteristics of Good Mentors Characteristics never diminish but grow with experience. Listed are some of the most important characteristics any mentor should have: Learns everything one can about the athlete Gives encouragement and provides constructive feedback Asks the questions “why” or “how” to check the athlete’s understanding Allows athlete time to formulate answers to questions and express him or herself before intervening; provide help as needed Values athlete’s opinions and preferences Listens – people want to know what the athlete thinks, not what the mentor knows Helps athletes stay on task Fades assistance as athlete leader becomes more proficient in skills and role Represents Special Olympics professionally
