The builder was Rene Voets, with input by conservation consultant architect Tony Ussher. The cottage has a Category 2 heritage listing with Pouhere Taonga Heritage New Zealand. Its extensive renovation has made it a finalist in the 2021 Canterbury Heritage Awards, in the “domestic saved and restored” category. The house is at the beginning of the Bridle Path, the track taken by early settlers over the Port Hills to Christchurch. The trek from Lyttelton took about four to five hours in the mid-19th century.

Trump Supporters Take Stock of Jan. 6, Feel Mischaracterized by Media
WASHINGTON Empty streets and a subdued atmosphere characterized Washington on Jan. 7 as Trump supporters processed the events of the previous day and the certification of the Electoral College votes by Congress overnight.
Many were packing up to go home, at the same time a fence was being erected around the Capitol; the National Guard presence was obvious.
Marine veteran Tony Good traveled from Florida and walked to the Ellipse to hear President Donald Trump speak in the morning. He said Trump didn’t incite violence in his speech.
“No, absolutely not. There’s a line between inciting to riot and standing on convictions,” Good told The Epoch Times. “He wasn’t telling anybody to riot, he was just telling them it’s our right to protest. That’s a right we have in America.”
