| "COOPER" gets caught and gets a "T" Shirt!! |
Cooper and his dad Scott (A Missouri Conservation Officer) were taking a ride on the TOWBOAT when Trooper Worthley pulled them over and presented Cooper with a "I got Caught Wearing Lifejacket" "T" shirt.
Getting "Caught wearing a Lifejacket", is a program to reward youngsters for wearing their lifejackets while on the lake, thanks to the Lake of the Ozarks Water Safety Council, Ameren Missouri, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Water Patrol Division. Since the inception of the Water Safety Council, Ameren Missouri has sponsored a t-shirt program that whenever a Water Patrol trooper spots a child 7 or under wearing a life jacket, the patrol officer gives him or her a t-shirt.
Cooper was wearing a BOATU.S. FOUNDATION "LOANER" LIFEJACKET FOR KIDS. http://www.boatus.com/foundation/LJLP/index.htm
LOANER LIFEJACKETS ARE AVAILABLE FROM TOWBOATU.S. LAKE OF THE OZARKS

The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety & Clean Water began distributing kits to sites across the nation in 1998 and it’s been growing ever since. There are now over 350 loaner sites nationwide, which loan our jackets more than 90,000 times a year!
One of the program’s goals is to educate boaters on the significance of wearing the appropriate size and type of life jacket while boating. Another is to make sure a day of boating isn’t spoiled just because a family forgot a life jacket at home. And finally, the most important goal: simply to keep kids safe out on the water! The program is funded in part by donations from the more than half a million members of BoatUS.
