Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches;
In the winter months of 1975, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Salls donated several cattle to the Youth Ranches and, later, promised to give their large home and land. With a few minor renovations to the Salls' residence, the first cottage was ready to accept siblings in August of 1978.
HOW WAS THE YOUTH RANCH/SAFETY HARBOR CONCEIVED?
A facility like the Youth Ranch had been in planning for several years, but the first real opportunity came in 1975, when a generous Clearwater couple (Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Salls) offered their large home and some surrounding property for the development of a Youth Ranch. The offer was gratefully accepted and some additional adjacent property was purchased at a discount price. As soon as the Salls had vacated their home, it was converted into a residence for ten children and their cottage parents. As mentioned previously, the Youth Ranch accepted its first children in August, 1978.
SALLS, CATHERINE "KATIE," 86, of Clearwater died Tuesday (Aug. 29, 2006) at Clearwater Center. She was born in Alexandria, W.Va., and came here in 1959 from Canton, Ohio. She was a homemaker and a founding member of the Countryside Baptist Church of Safety Harbor. She was a benefactor of several programs including the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranch. She enjoyed golfing and the beach. Survivors include two daughters, Rebecca "Becky" Moran and Carol Rice, both of Kiln, Miss.; 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
