Boy sick with lymphoma needs P120k for test

MANILA, PhilippinesIt must be the songs that Rommel Montoya sings that have helped him in his fight against non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen and other organs of the immune system.

It may also be a combination of many things, including his intake of three glasses of malunggay juice every day. According to Rommels mother, Lourdes Montoya, her 15-year-old son seems to have beaten the disease although doctors at Philippine General Hospital have recommended that he undergo a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, an imaging test that uses a radioactive substance called a tracer just to make sure.

My husband, Remegio, is a mere electrician and is not capable of producing the P120,000 amount needed for the procedure which will be done at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital. I am asking your readers to please help my son, she told the Inquirer.

Earlier, doctors told Lourdes that Rommel must undergo the test to check if the cancer cells had really been killed or merely transferred to another part of his body.

Lourdes can be reached at 0915-9422607. For donations, her BDO bank account number (Las Pias branch) is 002661028974.Santiago R. Alcantara

BRISTOL A local man charged with doing driveway work without a license and known to solicit the elderly while seeking paving jobs stood before a judge Monday morning.

Brian Curylo, 28, of 41 Pleasant St., arrested earlier this month, appeared briefly in Bristol Superior Court before his case was continued to Aug. 11.

He was charged July 7 with second-degree larceny, offering home repair without a license, no notice of cancellation, failure to provide notice of cancellation rights and failure to provide oral cancellation rights.

Curylo, who is free on $5,000 bond, had his home improvement license revoked in March, and was ordered to pay just over $30,000 to five former customers and $5,750 in civil penalties, according to a release from the Department of Consumer Protection. He has a lengthy criminal history that includes larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny.

This month, police spotted him working on a 93-year-old womans driveway. Officers said they knew Curylo wasnt supposed to be doing contracting work, so they arrested him. Police later said he had agreed to work on the womans driveway for $550.

Curylo and his business, Hot Top Paving, have been the subject of numerous complaints. He was being investigated last month after someone reported to police that he took over $800 but never returned to do the work.

That investigation was eventually dropped after Curylo told authorities he had planned to finish the job, but he wound up voiding the deal and returning the customers money.

Man accused of paving scam caught by police

BRISTOL, CT (WFSB) -

The man accused of scamming innocent homeowners out of tens of thousands of dollars in paving work was caught by police.

Police have been tracking the accused scammer, Brian Curylo, for more than one year, and he is now facing some stuff penalties.

Curylo owes at least $30,000 in fines to the state, and was an hour late on Monday to face a judge.

Police said Curylo and his Hot Top Paving company are well known throughout Bristol and beyond after he reportedly scammed the elderly.

Harold Thorne lives on Geary Avenue in Bristol and said he could have almost been Curylo's next victim recently.

"I just stopped them before they got here, I said, whatever you're selling, I don't want it'," Thorne said.

After the state's Consumer Protection Department investigated multiple complaints, Curylo's license was taken away, so police said he allegedly resorted to going door-to-door trying to bring in more business.

He was arrested on Geary Avenue while he was working on the cracks in the driveway that belonged to a 92-year-old woman.

"I thought he was legitimate, honestly, trying to make a little money but it turns out he wasn't," Thorne added.
