Talk:John O'Mill

message: I have edited the last sentence into correct English (you teach at a school, not on a school), however, the grammar is still confusing. 
The last sentence includes "to do this", but 'this' is not defined by the context of the previous sentence. Does 'this' refer to creating Double Dutch? If so, this should be explicit. --Savlonn (talk) 13:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correction of English 

message: I have the original booklet.
The poem quoted was named: Rot Yong (Dutch: Rotjong or Rotjoch)
It was called that way because it's a Dutch expression for 'Naughty Boy'
The original text, according to the booklet is:
A terrible infant called Peter
sprinkled his bed with a gheter.
His father got woost,
took hold of a cnoost,
and gave him a pack on his meter.
I don't know if "terrible infant" is a valid English expression as it's French counterpart "Enfant terrible" but the expression, pronounced in French, is well known in the Netherlands.
Gheter (Dutch: gieter) = Watering-can (used in gardening).
Woost (Dutch: woest) = very angry, wild.
Cnoost (Dutch: knoest, knots, knuppel) = club, bludgeon, cudgel.
A pack on his meter (Dutch: een pak op z'n mieter) = punishment, spank.

message: The following is unsourced information:
* In 2001, while building 6 was still being utilized as on-campus housing, a restraint chair from the original hospital could be viewed in the sub-basement. Whether or not this artifact is still present on campus is currently unknown, but it remains part of the college lore.
* The Motto of CGCC is: "Building Dreams, Transforming Lives."
* In 1926 the site became the new eastern Oregon Tuberculosis hospital.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 01:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: Hi, I'm the college's Marketing & Communication Director. The reason I'm writing today is to ask that someone please replace the drawing currently presented as "The front of the main building." The main campus has several buildings, and the one pictured is the college's oldest building, but as it only houses staff and faculty offices and the accounting department, "main" is the wrong identifier.
Here's an actual photo of that building (Building 2, originally known as Heath Hall, which was commissioned (1925) and built to house the Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital (est. 1929, closed 1959):

And here's a photo of the college's building in Hood River, Oregon:
https://www.cgcc.edu/sites/default/files/2023-03/CGCC-Hood-River-Center.jpg
PS - regarding the "unsourced material" above: the "building 6" to which the author refers was part of the tuberculosis hospital campus and no longer exists as such. There is a new Building 6, aka the Chinook Residence Hall, the college's 50 bed dormitory built in 2021. If there is still a restraint chair from the original hospital, it would be in Building 2, the OG hospital building, and the only one from the hospital days still standing. I've poked around in the basement looking for "college lore" like that (or ghosts) and, while it's definitely a bit creepy, I haven't yet discovered anything that flavor of interesting.
The motto stated in the unsourced material is correct.
