On Monday, Lexington priest, Father Jim Sichko met with nearly 200 out of work miners and their families in Harlan County, and paid over $20,000 dollars of their utility bills.  Father Sichko said he heard about the layoffs and bounced checks from Blackjewell, LLC on Thursday, and immediately put a plan into motion.  Father Sichko says he raises the money himself for charity work such as this, receiving donations from people across the country.
