Girl suing summer camp after expulsion for kissWESTPORT — A 15-year-old Westport girl and her family have filed a civil lawsuit against an overnight summer camp in the Berkshire Mountains, alleging negligent supervision, breach of contract and emotional damages after the girl was expelled from the camp, allegedly for kissing a boy.

According to the lawsuit, on July 11 the girl attended a counselor-supervised activity at Camp Emerson called "court time,” which is held on the basketball court and provides time for male and female campers to interact.

The girl and a male camper reportedly took a moment behind the arts and crafts building to share a kiss, according to the suit. The experience was humiliating and traumatizing for the girl as well as her 11-year-old sister, who also chose to leave the camp at that time, Arnold said.Chinese farmer makes Lamborghini from scraps Perhaps the next best thing to a Reventon doesn’t come from Lamborghini’s assembly halls, but straight from the workshop of a 28-year-old farmer in China. For Jian Wang, his humble farm and modest living couldn’t stop him from owning the highly coveted Lamborghini Reventon — only this time, he built it from scratch.

All he needed was an old Volkswagen, a small Reventon model car, and a good background in auto mechanics. After some major overhauls and a few yanks, the result was close to the real thing, but without the paint and posh interior. Unfortunately, the Chinese police refused to grant his car the needed license to drive it down the road.

So Wang uses his car instead to transport fertilizer around his farm. And the total cost of his homemade prized possession? About $9,500.
