DOUGLAS -- Becky Swisher will never forget the day she came home from work to find a uranium company's stakes on her 15-acre ranch. Puzzled, she asked her husband Don about them.
"He said, ‘That's from Canyon (Resources). They staked the place while we were at work,'" she recalled.
The couple had only recently found their "perfect" property only a few miles outside Douglas, making it a home and hoping to start a business with miniature horses. They loved the seclusion, the lush views, and the fact the nearest neighbors were barely within sight. Now, they are uncertain what the future will hold.
"We knew Canyon was going to be staking, but we thought they would contact us," Becky Swisher said, still frustrated by the intrusion three weeks later. "I grew up on a ranch, and you respect people's boundaries."
