# Hellgate (1989 film)

***Hellgate*** is a 1989 horror film directed by William A. Levey, written by Michael S. O'Rourke, and starring Ron Palillo, Abigail Wolcott, and Carel Trichardt. It follows two young couples who become embroiled in the mystery of a desolate ghost town, Hellgate, where a young woman was kidnapped and murdered by a biker gang in 1959. It was released in the United States directly-to-video in August 1990 through Vidmark Entertainment.

## Plot

College students Pam, her best friend Bobby, and Chuck are awaiting the arrival of Bobby's boyfriend Matt at a remote cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Bobby tells the story of the Hellgate hitchhiker, an urban legend about a spectral female hitchhiker alleged to be the ghost of a woman, Josie Carlyle, the daughter of a mining magnate who was kidnapped by a biker gang in 1959 and brutally murdered in the now-ghost town of Hellgate, where her father served as mayor. After Josie's murder, a gold mining prospector uncovered a strange crystal in an abandoned mine, which he brought to her father, Lucas. Lucas, distraught over Josie's death, used the crystal's powers to reanimate her corpse, inadvertently wreaking supernatural havoc on anything that came in contact with it.

Meanwhile, Matt stops at the same diner from where Josie was abducted years prior, seeking directions from a waitress there. He subsequently encounters Josie on the road and offers her a ride, unaware she is a ghost. The two drive through Hellgate, which appears populated by a number of ghostly figures meandering in a trancelike state. Matt drives Josie off at her dilapidated father's mansion, where he is invited inside. Josie seduces Matt, but he is frightened away by Lucas, armed with the crystal, and flees.

Upon arriving at the cabin, Matt explains to Bobby his encounter with Josie. That night, Matt, Bobby, and Pam visit the local diner for coffee. In an abandoned car shop next-door, they find a newspaper article detailing the disappearance of Buzz, the leader of the biker gang, after Josie's disappearance. They are then attacked by Zonk, a boorish mechanic, who warns them against returning to Hellgate. Matt, Bobby, Pam, and Chuck drive to Hellgate to investigate despite Zonk's warnings, and find Josie's grave in the local cemetery. They are met by a series of ghostly individuals in town, and witness Josie naked in a dance hall, where several lone couples dance.

In the cemetery, Lucas invokes the powers of the crystal to bring the various deceased residents of Hellgate back to life, and they begin to attack Matt, Pam, Chuck, and Bobby. Bobby and Chuck return to the car, but are confronted by Lucas, who decapitates Chuck. In a saloon, Bobby witnesses a ghostly pianist. Matt and Pam arrive moments later and find a stunned Bobby. Matt and Pam leave to get help, as Bobby refuses to go back outside. Alone in the saloon, Bobby watches in disbelief as a vaudeville show is put on by the ghosts before Lucas strangles her, turning her into one of the undead.

Meanwhile, Matt and Pam go to the Carlyle mansion in search of a telephone, but the call is cut short when Matt reaches the police station. Josie appears and lures Matt upstairs and again seduces him, before Pam arrives and shoots Josie with a rifle, causing her to fall from a window. Matt and Pam flee, where they are met by Bobby and Chuck in their Jeep, both now apparent zombies. Matt and Pam manage to escape in Josie's vintage car, only to find Lucas clinging to the top. Lucas attempts to attack them with the crystal, but Matt crashes into a building, throwing him from the vehicle, after which a building collapses on him. Matt and Pam flee the town. Meanwhile, Josie wanders through the streets of Hellgate.

## Production

Director William A. Levey had previously filmed *Committed* starring Jennifer O'Neill and Ron Palillo in South Africa, which led to his hiring as director for *Hellgate*, another South African-based production. The film was shot in a real abandoned town in South Africa with a cast largely made up of South African actors. Levey initially planned to cast Embeth Davidtz in one of the lead female roles, but ultimately chose not to hire her as she was unable to speak with a convincing American accent at the time. Abigail Wolcott, a model who was touring Europe and South Africa, was discovered by Levey and cast as Josie. Ron Palillo, who had previously starred in Levey's *Committed* and *Skatetown, U.S.A.*, was given the lead role of Matt.

## Release

### Home media

*Hellgate* was distributed on home video by New World Pictures in the United Kingdom in December 1989. It was released in the United States directly-to-video in August 1990 through Vidmark Entertainment, as well as on LaserDisc.

In 2014, Arrow Video released a limited edition Blu-ray in the United Kingdom.

### Critical response

Andrew Smith of *Popcorn Pictures* gave the film an abysmal score of 1/10, writing, "*Hellgate* isn’t just bad, it’s on the same ‘utterly terrible’ plane of existence as the likes of *Troll* and *Raging Sharks*. It's not a film you can even watch if you're curious about how awful it is. Just forget it ever existed." Michael Weldon in *The Psychotronic Video Guide* gave the film a negative review, noting: "Ron Palillo (from *Welcome Back, Kotter*), who was nearly 40 at the time, stars in this awful, irritating teen horror movie."

Graeme Clark from *The Spinning Image* awarded the film 1/10 stars, calling it "utter garbage" and criticized the film's script, phony special effects, and acting.

# Portrait of a Man in Black

***Portrait of a Man in Black*** or ***Man in Black in Profile*** is a c. 1520-1522 oil on panel painting by Rosso Fiorentino, now in the Galleria Palatina, in Florence.

## History and description

Vasari's *Life of Rosso Fiorentino* briefly states that he saw several portraits by the artist in homes in Florence, probably produced before Rosso left for Volterra in 1521. How *Man* entered the Medici-Lorraine collections is unknown, since the first definite mention of the work is an 1815 inventory placing it in the Galleria's Sala dell'Iliade.

Previously attributed to Pontormo, this was changed by Falciani due to several similarities between it and faces in the *Volterra Deposition*, placing it just before or after Rosso Fiorentino's stay in Volterra. Franklin (1997) argued against the reattribution, but it was backed by Padovani and Antonio Natali, with the latter seeing similarities to a medal of Jacopo Sannazaro by Girolamo Santacroce and thus theorising that Rosso had made a trip to Naples. Schaeffer (1910) had previously identified its subject as the Florentine canon Francesco da Castiglione based on similarities to the *Entry of Leo X* fresco at the Palazzo Vecchio, but Falciani argues against this as the man is in civil not ecclesiastical dress.

## Reception

Stuart of Puroresu Central felt that the 11th Anniversary Show "didn't live up to the hype and anticipation it had. A couple of very good matches and a perfectly watchable one didn't make it too bad but much of the undercard stuff was dreadful. Fuyuki's booking has dragged the FMW product down so far."

# Margaret Leigh

**Margaret Mary Leigh** (17 December 1894 – 7 April 1973) was an English writer who lived extensively in Scotland and wrote about life in crofting communities. She was born in London, England, the cousin of novelist Dorothy L. Sayers and the daughter of an Oxford don, and educated at Somerville College, Oxford.

## Early career

Leigh spent many of her early years travelling abroad for her father’s health. At various times, she acted as a governess, teacher and university lecturer. She eventually supported herself and her mother by subsistence farming, first in Cornwall, and later in Scotland.

## Writing career

Leigh published a short book of poetry in 1923, *Songs from Tani's Garden*, before writing her first novel, *The Passing of the Pengwerns*, in 1924. *Harvest of the Moor* recounts her experience farming in Cornwall. In 1939, Leigh rode a horse from Cornwall to Scotland, which became the subject of her third book, *A Kingdom for a Horse*. She subsequently settled there, living variously at the Isle of Barra, Aultgrishan in Ross-shire, Fernaig in Ross-shire, Smirisary in Moidart and Inverness. Three of her books relate her experience in crofting communities in north-west Scotland before, during and just after World War II.

title: Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die

abstract: Music Industrial Wastes〜P-MODEL OR DIE Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die, stylized as Music Industrial Wastes〜P-MODEL OR DIE, is the twelfth studio album by P-Model, the third by its "revised" lineup and the final one for the band overall.

text:
# Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die

***Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die***, stylized as ***Music Industrial Wastes〜P-MODEL OR DIE*** (音楽産業廃棄物〜P-MODEL OR DIE, *Ongaku Sangyō Haikibutsu〜P-MODEL OR DIE*), is the twelfth studio album by P-Model, the third by its "revised" lineup and the final one for the band overall.

## Background

In 1999, feeling that technology had advanced enough and frustrated at major labels' reticence to adopt it, P-Model terminated their exclusive contract with Nippon Columbia and started the *Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die* project. Through it, the band would completely redevelop their distribution methods, starting up the online MP3 store P-Plant with the assistance of the Nikkei Business Publications magazine *netn@vi* as their primary commercial channel; to service those who don't have computers, the independent label Magnet Records handled CD releases, with a delay from the site sale. They would also organize multiple online events for more direct interaction with their listeners.

As 1999 was also the 20th anniversary of the band's foundation, many activities were organized to commemorate its history, among them the rerecording of songs from the first four P-Model albums in the style of their accompanying live shows as the *Virtual Live* series of albums and the release of a book chronicling the group's multiple aspects.

The concept of the album *Music Industrial Wastes: P-Model or Die* is summed up on its first track, inspired by the frustration the P-Plant webmaster was having with the difficulties of copyright in the information age, "Logic Airforce": P-Model is locked on a battle of logic with the music industry. As an extension of the concept of *Fune*, the long voyage started on that album ends on a post-war battlefield, where people are rebuilding a new world, where all are invited to acceptance, things that would be called escapism and madness in the real world are celebrated, and evil spirits can show their faces. However, to continue living inside the real world to some extent, people cast aside their "real names", instead living as "dust humanoids", or "DUSToids".

## Composition

A theme present in the album is a proper revisiting of the core P-Model concept. To explore that, Kenji Konishi used the drum spatial processing from *Perspective* and whole tones, giving most of his songs a "concrete garage-like" sound and some periodic sampling of snare drums. Further playing with the "retrieving industrial wastes" concept, he also recorded about 3 hours of sampling from construction sites and similar locations.

The song that most closely realizes the "replay" concept, "Heaven 2000", is a combination of two songs: "Heaven", from *Perspective*, and 4-D's stand-alone single "After Dinner Party". Both "Heaven" and "After Dinner Party" were part of both bands' regular repertoire in the '80s. While originally entirely unrelated, both songs can be read as complementary to each other, and that was the motivation behind the making of "Heaven 2000".

## Recording and production

With the advances in technology, members sent each other demos as MP3 files, which are of a higher quality than RealAudio ones, which meant that each member could do their entire workload without meeting face-to-face. Continuing that trend, P-Model experimented with "Remote Mixdown": backups of each member's hard disk recorder were sent to Hirasawa's Studio Wireself, were Masanori Chinzei engineered them, periodically sending MP3s to each member's computer. They would then communicate feedback and instructions to him through an exclusive chat system, which also featured webcam snapshots of Chinzei at work, refreshing once every 3 minutes. The whole process could be seen by the public, who had their own chat and could listen to low-rate MP3s, all happening in real time.

Because MP3 downloads were being considered as the primary method of distribution, P-Model made sure to compress the songs to about 3 to 4 MB, with 5 MB being the maximum; they also deliberately went for "festive" numbers to celebrate the new medium.

# WRMD-CD

**WRMD-CD** (channel 49) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Tampa, Florida, United States, serving as the Tampa Bay Area's outlet for the Spanish-language network Telemundo. The station is owned and operated by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group, and maintains studios on West Spruce Street in Tampa and a transmitter near Riverview, Florida.

## History

The station first signed on the air on October 29, 1987, originally broadcasting on UHF channel 57 as an affiliate of Channel America. Shortly afterward, the station was acquired by ZGS Communications, which converted the station into the Tampa Bay market's new Telemundo affiliate. WRMD originally broadcast on UHF channel 57 until the early 2000s, when the station relocated to UHF channel 49, to make room for WTTA (channel 38)'s new digital signal on channel 57. In 2004, the station began to be carried on Bright House Networks' cable systems in portions of the Tampa Bay market outside of Tampa proper.

On December 4, 2017, NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group announced its purchase of ZGS' 13 television stations, including WRMD-CD.

## Local programming

Before it launched its own newscasts, WRMD aired simulcasts of WKAQ-TV newscasts from San Juan, Puerto Rico, along with weather forecasts from Orlando sister station WTMO-CD. The station launched a weekday-only news operation on September 9, 2014, and currently runs newscasts at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. The station also airs Florida Lottery drawings with Spanish language audio. On August 14, 2011, the station debuted its first locally produced program, a lifestyle and entertainment magazine program titled *Holaciudad teve!*, which airs Sundays at 6 p.m.

On June 11, 2018, six months after the purchase by NBCUniversal, the station launched two half-hour afternoon newscasts at 5 and 5:30 p.m. in addition to the 6 p.m. show.

title: Neural accommodation

abstract: Neural accommodation or neuronal accommodation occurs when a neuron or muscle cell is depolarised by slowly rising current in vitro. The Hodgkin–Huxley model also shows accommodation. Sudden depolarisation of a nerve evokes propagated action potential by activating voltage-gated fast sodium channels incorporated in the cell membrane if the depolarisation is strong enough to reach threshold. The open sodium channels allow more sodium ions to flow into the cell and resulting in further depolarisation, which will subsequently open even more sodium channels. At a certain moment this process becomes regenerative and results in the rapid ascending phase of action potential. In parallel with the depolarisation and sodium channel activation, the inactivation process of the sodium channels is also driven by depolarisation. Since the inactivation is much slower than the activation process, during the regenerative phase of action potential, inactivation is unable to prevent the "chain reaction"-like rapid increase in the membrane voltage. During neuronal accommodation, the slowly rising depolarisation drives the activation and inactivation, as well as the potassium gates simultaneously and never evokes action potential. Failure to evoke action potential by ramp depolarisation of any strength had been a great puzzle until Hodgkin and Huxley created their physical model of action potential. Later in their life they received a Nobel Prize for their influential discoveries. Neuronal accommodation can be explained in two ways. "First, during the passage of a constant cathodal current through the membrane, the potassium conductance and the degree of inactivation will rise, both factors raising the threshold. Secondly, the steady state ionic current at all strengths of depolarization is outward, so that an applied cathodal current which rises sufficiently slowly will never evoke a regenerative response from the membrane, and excitation will not occur." In vivo physiologic condition accommodation breaks down, that is long-duration slowly rising current excites nerve fibers at a nearly constant intensity no matter how slowly this intensity is approached.

# Neural accommodation

**Neural accommodation** or **neuronal accommodation** occurs when a neuron or muscle cell is depolarised by slowly rising current (ramp depolarisation) *in vitro*. The Hodgkin–Huxley model also shows accommodation. Sudden depolarisation of a nerve evokes propagated action potential by activating voltage-gated fast sodium channels incorporated in the cell membrane if the depolarisation is strong enough to reach threshold. The open sodium channels allow more sodium ions to flow into the cell and resulting in further depolarisation, which will subsequently open even more sodium channels. At a certain moment this process becomes regenerative (vicious cycle) and results in the rapid ascending phase of action potential. In parallel with the depolarisation and sodium channel activation, the inactivation process of the sodium channels is also driven by depolarisation. Since the inactivation is much slower than the activation process, during the regenerative phase of action potential, inactivation is unable to prevent the "chain reaction"-like rapid increase in the membrane voltage.

## Biography

### Early life and family

Born in Pitești, Argeș County, Ștefan Buchiu was raised in a family deeply ingrained in the Orthodox faith, being the son of priest Piru Buchiu and presbytera Viorica Buchiu. The family environment emphasized religious service, with Ștefan being the youngest of five children, four of whom pursued clerical careers.

### Education

Ștefan Buchiu began his theological studies in 1968 at the Theological Seminary in Craiova, graduating in 1973. He continued his education at the University Theological Institute in Bucharest from 1973 to 1977, where he distinguished himself academically, graduating as valedictorian. He pursued advanced theological studies, completing doctoral research at the same institution from 1977 to 1980, with further studies at the Bossey Ecumenical Institute, University of Geneva in Switzerland, during 1983–1984.

In 1993, Buchiu defended his doctoral thesis, titled *Incarnation and Unity. The Restoration of the Cosmos in Jesus Christ* at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, University of Bucharest. This work was supervised by Fr. Prof. Dumitru Popescu and is noted for contributing to the field of Orthodox Dogmatic Theology.

## Academic career

### Teaching career

In 1990, Ștefan Buchiu began his tenure at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Bucharest, initially serving as a university assistant. Throughout the years, he progressed through academic positions, from lecturer to associate professor, and was appointed as a university professor and doctoral advisor in Orthodox Dogmatic Theology in 2007. During his professorship, he worked on enhancing the theological curriculum to offer a comprehensive education in Orthodox studies.

### Dean of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology

From 2008 to 2018, Buchiu served as the Dean of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, and from 2009 to 2013, he also took on the role of Director of the Doctoral School. Similar to graduate programs in the US, this school oversees the research and studies of Ph.D. students.

#### International impact and collaborations

During his tenure, Fr. Ștefan Buchiu actively engaged in fostering international collaborations, expanding faculty collaborations with Orthodox theological institutions globally. His efforts were directed towards facilitating academic dialogues, exchanges, and cooperative projects, contributing to a more interconnected Orthodox academic community.

Buchiu was involved in establishing partnerships with various Orthodox theological academies and universities around the world, including Kyiv, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Athens, Balamand, and Fribourg. These collaborations aimed to enhance academic dialogue and support unity within the global Orthodox theological education network.

Under his direction, a collaboration was initiated with Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in the US, starting in 2013. This partnership included student and faculty exchanges, alongside joint dialogues and publications, and was aimed at contributing to theological education and fostering understanding between Orthodox communities in Romania and the United States.

In 2017, under the guidance of Patriarch Daniel of Romania and with significant contributions from Buchiu, the "Patriarch Justinian" Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Bucharest initiated an educational extension in Rome, Italy. This initiative was designed to meet the interest of the Romanian diaspora in pursuing Orthodox theological studies in their native language. Buchiu was instrumental in establishing this extension, which offers a curriculum similar to its parent institution in Bucharest, thereby facilitating theological education for Romanian Orthodox students living abroad.

#### Infrastructure and development

In 2015, the 'Patriarch Justinian' Faculty of Orthodox Theology added a new level to its building, increasing the number of classrooms and advancing the restoration of its century-old building. These developments, which occurred during Fr. Prof. Buchiu's tenure as dean, aimed to improve the faculty's infrastructure. His role in these projects was acknowledged with the Diploma of Honour of Saint Andrew the Apostle during the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Romanian Orthodox Church's elevation to Patriarchate status.

## Theological contributions

Father Ștefan Buchiu has authored over 100 academic studies and articles in the field of Orthodox theology, engaging in theological discourse and exploring complex theological concepts.

### Influence and legacy of Father Dumitru Stăniloae

Buchiu's theological work is significantly shaped by the teachings of Dumitru Stăniloae, a distinguished figure in Romanian Orthodox theology. As one who has closely studied under Stăniloae, Buchiu has extensively engaged with and built upon his mentor's theological concepts, underscoring their importance for both the Romanian Orthodox tradition and the broader Christian community.

In discussions on theological perspectives, Buchiu has highlighted Stăniloae's shift from theoretical academic study to a theology that is more experiential and personal. This approach emphasizes a direct and personal encounter with Christ, aiming to foster a living faith within the community of the Church.

Father Ștefan Buchiu contributed to honoring Father Dumitru Stăniloae's legacy through the "Rev. Academician Dumitru Staniloae" Theology Contest. This annual contest, targeting theological students, promotes the study of Stăniloae's theological works, encouraging a new generation to explore his profound contributions to Orthodox theology. For example, in 2015, the winners were recognized by the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, highlighting Buchiu's role in connecting Staniloae's teachings with contemporary theological scholarship.

Prof. Buchiu's anthology, *Father Dumitru Stăniloae, the Theologian of Divine Love* gathers 20 articles that delve into Stăniloae's significant theological contributions. This collection not only highlights Buchiu's engagement with Stăniloae's theology but also its application to modern Christian life, promoting an experiential faith deeply rooted in the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox church.

On the 30th anniversary of Stăniloae's death, Buchiu underscored the ongoing relevance of his work for today's theological discourse and Orthodox practice. He encourages engagement with Stăniloae's writings as a pathway to deepen theological understanding and enhance faith practice, reflecting on Stăniloae's approach to theology that encompasses contemplation as well as social engagement.

In 1994, Fr. Ștefan Buchiu was appointed by the Romanian Patriarchate to reinstate the chaplaincy service in the Romanian military, following the fall of the communist regime. This effort involved significant research and documentation, as the military chaplaincy had existed in Romania prior to the communist era. As part of this process, Fr. Buchiu participated in initiatives to study chaplaincy programs in other countries. This work marked a key step in restoring religious assistance within the Romanian armed forces, aiming to support the overall well-being and spiritual needs of military personnel.

## Awards and honors

He has received recognition both from academic institutions and the Church for his contributions to theology and higher education. For his commitment and exceptional contributions in the theological field, Fr. Ștefan Buchiu has received multiple distinctions and recognitions throughout his career.

### Ecclesiastical, academic, and civic honors

### Commemorative events

Prof. Buchiu's 70th birthday was marked by a commemorative event at the "Patriarch Justinian" Faculty of Orthodox Theology, University of Bucharest. This event celebrated the launch of a festschrift titled *In the Light of Christ: Homage to Fr. Prof. Ștefan Buchiu*, featuring contributions from academic scholars and ecclesiastical officials. Notably, Patriarch Daniel of Romania provided a foreword, stating:

> "For over three decades, Father Professor Ștefan Buchiu has conducted an extensive teaching tenure... demonstrating considerable rigor, seriousness, and generosity. He has supported the development and recognition of multiple generations of theologians... \[and\] exemplifies diligence, enthusiasm, and selfless dedication to the welfare of the Church, thorough scholarship, and academic earnestness in the advancement of Romanian theological education."

The event was attended by bishops, prominent academics, and students, reinforcing the professor's esteemed standing in the theological academic community. Additional accolades included a blessing from Archbishop Casian Crăciun and the delivery of Patriarch Daniel's message by Vicar Bishop Timotei of Prahova.

# Ștefan Burileanu

**Ștefan Burileanu** (10 January 1874 – 1944) was a Romanian officer, engineer, inventor, and academic who rose to the rank of major general in 1933.

## Biography

Burileanu was born in Burila Mare village, Mehedinți County. He went to high school in Paris, graduating in 1891. From 1892 to 1894 he studied engineering and military science at École Polytechnique and from 1894–1896 at the Saint-Cyr military school in Fontainebleau. He completes his studies in France in 1901, earning a Ph.D. degree from the Sorbonne with a thesis titled *Nouvelle méthode de balistique extérieure*.

In 1915 he converted the Hotchkiss 57 mm Model 1888/1916 into an anti-aircraft cannon, designing a system which he named *Burileanu*. The 40 converted cannons had a rate of fire of 20-25 rounds per minute, a horizontal firing arc of 360° and a vertical arc of + 85°. Colonel Burileanu designed and built a special warhead for this cannon, increasing its range by 22%.

The cannon was widely used by the Romanian Army in World War I, bringing down German planes at Mărășești, Piatra Neamț, and Bârlad. He made a similar system for the Gruson 53 mm Model 1887/1916. He also contributed to the Romanian victory at the Battle of Mărășești through the modifications he made to its cannons and howitzers.

Between 1923 and 1930 Burileanu was a professor of mechanics at the University of Cluj. He was elected titular member of the Romanian Academy of Sciences (Military Section) on 21 December 1935.

Nowadays Burileanu is viewed as the father of the Romanian anti-aircraft artillery. In his memory, the Academy of Sciences has instituted a prize in his name. A street in Bucharest also bears his name. The Romanian Army's 30 km2 (12 sq mi) Test and Evaluation Center, located in Jegălia, Călărași County, is also named after General Burileanu.

# New Prussia, Ontario

**New Prussia** is an unincorporated rural community in the township of Wilmot, Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

The Nith River flows a short distance east of the settlement.

New Prussia prospered during the mid-1800s, though little remains today of the former settlement.

## History

New Prussia was settled by Roman Catholic immigrants from the Rhine Province of Prussia. Early Catholic church services were held by itinerant Jesuits.

A school was erected in 1859 and named "SS#18, New Prussia School". An addition was added in 1952. The school closed in 1966, and was converted into a commercial property. The extant school building has been described as "one of the last physical remnants of the settlement" of New Prussia.

In 1863, the Guenther House was built, and has remained one of the longest continually run century farms in the area. The house is listed on the Wilmot Township Heritage Register.

## Decline

The population of New Prussia declined during the late 1800s when many German immigrants in Waterloo County moved west to Bruce County to purchase inexpensive Crown land. This westward movement of German immigrants was called "Saugeen fever", after the Saugeen River which flows through Bruce County.

The Wellesley Alliance Church is today located in New Prussia.
