Tampa Electric Conducts Inspections Of Equipment
During the next week, low-flying helicopters will be in neighborhoods inspecting transmission equipment. The inspection is part of Tampa Electric’s ongoing program to keep equipment in proper working order.
The inspections began on Wednesday. The helicopters will conduct aerial surveys of Tampa Electric’s high-voltage power lines.
A helicopter will fly be- tween 30 and 300 feet above the lines and poles while workers inspect equipment using infrared technology or traditional cameras. Crews will survey Tampa Electric’s entire 1,300-mile system of high-voltage transmission lines.
The inspections began at 8 a.m. Wednesday, and con- tinue for about a week during
daylight hours. The survey will be complete by July 23, weather permitting.
Tampa Electric has hired Summit Helicopter, of Pa- coima, Calif., to conduct the inspections.
The inspections are taking place along Tampa Electric’s urban and rural rights of way. Some inspections will take place within view of area roads and neighborhoods. Local law enforcement offi- cials will be notified.
The inspections are part of the company’s ongoing maintenance of transmission equipment to provide the highest level of reliability.
Tampa Electric, one of Florida’s largest investor- owned electric utilities, serves about 765,000 customers in West Central Florida.

Ola, is hosting
“The Tampa
Indie Flea” to
showcase Tampa’s talent. Booth #96 will be the home of Identity Narrative, Scent As Art, a cosmetics company focused on perfume and scents.
The company is the brainchild of Tampa transplant, Brenda McKenzie Singhal, brand-builder, economic development expert, and Atty. Mary Richardson-Lowry, of Chicago, two longtime friends looking to pur- sue their passion.
Mrs. McKenzie Singhal worked exten- sively with entrepreneurs for many years, ad-

miring their passion and willingness to chase their dreams.
After experiencing bad reactions to scents and other allergens, Mrs. McKenzie Sing- hal and Atty. Richardson-Lowry, had de- cided to extensively research a perfume that would not trigger allergic or chemical reac- tions.
Identity Narrative is made in the United States with the highest quality products avail- able. Over two years of research has led to a
product with no additives, chemicals, parabens, folates, or silicone. It is vegan and cruelty-free.
Identity Narrative is also gender neutral. The scents aren’t classified as female or male. Scents are strictly cho- sen by the consumer based on their preference.
The name is based on peo- ple being their own storyteller and scent being a part of one’s self.
Identity Narrative is a the- ory that proposes that individ- uals integrate their lives with experiences to form an inter- nal sense of purpose. Its cus- tomer is a conscientious consumer who is in tune with their inner selves and is look- ing for a fragrance as an exten- sion of themselves.
The entrepreneurs are ex- cited by the future. They will be showcasing their product in Las Vegas next, followed by Chicago and Atlanta.
