Letter From President Sabrina Gray

ur mission encompasses not only the city of Orange, but also our neighbors Pinehurst and West Orange. Together our cities comprise a residency of approximately 43,677 and encompass an area of 10.1 square miles. Over 400 businesses, organizations, and individuals make up the Chamber. Adding to the Chamber listings of Orange, Pinehurst, and West Orange are the communities of Orangefield, Little Cypress, and Mauriceville. While each area has its own unique character, we all share the goals of growing our businesses, developing new economic opportunities, and embracing the qualities of those of us who choose to live and work in Orange County.

Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce

Greetings in the New Year from your president! It seems that the streams of new technology are regularly impacting how we form and change our business infrastructure. Hand-helds, Blackberries, palm computers, Twitter, Facebook, and more are repositioning our businesses in what is now very much a global market. Yet the most important aspects of your business — you, your clients and customers, and those you employ — continue to stand as the benchmark for everything new and every change you may consider. It is obvious where we would be without our customer base, but where would our clients and employees be without our businesses, which they depend on for local quality of life? For this reason, your Chamber has adopted a new mission statement: The Mission of the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote an environment conducive to business growth, to pursue economic development, and enhance the quality of life in the Greater Orange Area by providing resources, leadership, and support to our members. New technology is certainly putting the face of our businesses in more places. But there is no substitute for face-to-face contact with your business associates and clients. Networking remains one of the most important strategies for business growth because it builds relationships. Supporting other business is good business, and you know that you can confidently do business with the members listed in our online directory. I invite you to use our website as an opportunity to impact your business in the Greater Orange Area. Along with our member listings, we also provide information and resources about the Chamber and your community. Our newsletter helps boost awareness of the good works your fellow Chamber-member businesses are involved in. The Greater Orange Area is far ahead of other towns our size in cultural opportunities. I believe that is because our Chamber members are involved — they sponsor community events, historic attractions, and the arts and help fund local youth and family activities. Our Chamber-member business community is focused on our future. The Greater Orange Area Chamber is poised to grow, even in a global downturn. We possess the new technology; but more importantly, we share a common goal and will work together towards that goal — growing our businesses, reaching for economic opportunities, and continuing to focus on the quality of life in our own town. Sabrina Gray President-CEO, Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce

The Mission of the GreaterÂ Orange Area Chamber of Commerce is to promote an environment conducive to business growth, to pursue economic development, and enhance the quality of life in the Greater Orange Area by providing resources, leadership, and support to our members.

Letter from Chairman David Jones

here are many pillars that help support a community, and the Chamber of Commerce is one of the most significant of those pillars. Recognizing the importance of our members, the GOACC board of directors has adopted the goal “Taking Care of Business” as our 2010 motto.

As a unified force, we work on behalf of nearly 500 community leaders and companies who themselves represent thousands of hard-working employees.

Whether entering or leaving Texas via Interstate 10, Orange has the distinction of being the first or final flavor of Texas for many travelers. Although founded in 1836, the city of Orange was officially chartered in 1858. Originally known for its leading lumber industry in the late 1800s, Orange is now recognized for its industry and its deep-water port access to the Gulf of Mexico. The city of Orange is served by the West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District and the Little CypressMauriceville Consolidated Independent School District. Lamar State College-Orange is located downtown. Since 2002, Brown Claybar has served as mayor for the city. The veteran leadership of the City Council includes members Theresa Adams Beauchamp, Place 1; Jimmy Sims, Mayor Pro-Tem, Place 2; Jeff Holland, Place 3; and Bill Mello, Place 4. The Orange Police Department, established in 1914, has 43 sworn officers and is led by Chief of Police Sam Kittrell. The Orange Fire Department, established in 1877, consists of

37 sworn personnel and one civilian assistant at three stations strategically spread across the city. The department responds to approximately 3,500 calls for assistance each year.

Pinehurst is part of the West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District and is now the home of the district’s newest addition, West Orange-Stark Elementary, expected to open before the start of the 2010–2011 school year. City officials include Mayor T.W. Permenter, who is currently serving his first full term leading Pinehurst. Council members include W.D. “Bill” Triggs Sr., Bessie Huckaby, Robert

L. “Bob” Williams, John Zerko, and Daniel Barclay, mayor pro-tem. Climate

Located on a flat coastal plain in the extreme southeast corner of Texas, Orange has a climate that’s a mixture of tropical and temperate zone conditions. The area lies far enough south that the cold air masses of winter are moderate in severity, but still provide the stimulating effects of seasonal change. Average maximum temperatures range from the low 60s in January to the high 90s in the summer months. A few miles inland, away from the marked influence of the Gulf of Mexico, summer maximums are higher and winter minimums lower than on the coast. Extreme departures from normal temperatures seldom occur for more than four successive days. High normal rainfall, distributed evenly throughout the year, and prevailing southerly winds from the Gulf of Mexico bring high

Greetings From Mayor T.W. Permenter I would like to welcome you to the city of Pinehurst, the perfect place to blend family, community, and business. You will find friendly neighborhoods and distinctive, quality homes. To support our growth, the city of Pinehurst is committed to recruiting top businesses to provide first-rate goods and services. Chili’s restaurant and Robert’s restaurant continue to be destination spots for

humidity. The lightest precipitation usually occurs in March and October; cloudy, rainy weather is most common in winter. Heavy rainfall occurs in thunderstorms of short duration and as a result of infrequent tropical storms. Snow or sleet seldom occurs. The greatest snowfall recorded in any one storm was only 4.4 inches. The area enjoys approximately 60 percent sunshine throughout the year. The climate is favorable for outdoor activities throughout the year. Construction is active in all seasons, and outdoor sports and recreation are possible most of the time. Abundant rainfall and moderate temperatures are particularly favorable for farming and livestock production. The heaviest rainfall usually falls in summer, when it is most needed for the rice crops, and the comparatively dry harvest season simplifies the reaping of rice and other crops. Cattle raised on the open range provided by the wide coastal marshes need little supplemental feeding or protection from the weather.

the surrounding area, which brings needed tax revenue to our city. Building off their success, we continue to court additional restaurants as well as other businesses to our city with our many available retail and commercial sites. As mayor, I want to invite you to visit us and see what we have to offer. You’ll find that beautiful downtown Pinehurst is a place where you will want to work, live, and raise your family. T.W. Permenter Mayor, City of Pinehurst

Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP’s (Chevron Phillips Chemical) Orange plant is located on FM 1006, about five miles outside the city of Orange. Approximately 150 acres of the 400-acre plant site are used for the manufacturing of polyethylene, a versatile

plastic used to make pipe, storage containers, detergent bottles, and many other useful products. The plant employs more than 200 full-time and contract employees and has the capacity to produce over 900 million pounds of high-density polyethylene per year. The original plant, built in 1954 by Spencer Chemicals, produced the first lowdensity polyethylene in 1955. In 1963, the facility was purchased by Gulf Oil, which added a high-density plant in 1969, producing an additional 80 million pounds per year. By 1991, the plant capacity was 1.2 billion pounds per year with over 500 employees. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, changing technology, decreased demand, and high feedstock prices brought many changes to the Orange plant, which slowly phased out low-density polyethylene production to focus entirely on high-density polyethylene. Upgrades were made to the high-density units, and employees took significant measures to reduce waste and control costs to stay competitive. www.goacc.org

Employees and their families annually participate in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and in “White Christmas,” providing toys, clothing, and food for local families in need during the holiday season. Working together, employees from Orange and Chevron Phillips Chemicals’ Port Arthur facilities sponsor an annual golf tournament benefiting Buckner Children and Family Services.

In 2007, the plant became an Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) site. “Our excellent safety record is testament to the teamwork and cooperation of our employees and contractors,” said Plant Manager Gary Piana.

Master Plan: Improving What’s Already Here

The city of Orange is looking to the future, and it’s all part of a plan. The city has begun working on a project to improve and revitalize a section of downtown. The project, which has been referred to as the “master plan,” is aimed at expanding the downtown business community and increasing the tourism base. In the fall of 2009, a joint meeting of the Orange City Council, the Orange Economic Development Corporation, the Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Planning and Zoning Commission presented an update to a 2007 plan. Although much of the plan is the same, the scope of the project has changed. During the fall 2009 meeting, Mayor Brown Claybar presented what he described as a refined plan.

The main targets of the project include:

• Area 1: Focuses on areas between Green Avenue and Front Street and Eighth Street and Sixth Street and could include a large open-space park, a performance pavilion, and certain relocated city facilities, such as the Convention and Visitors Bureau. • Area 2: Construction of a riverfront park that starts at Front Street, in front of Lamar State College-Orange. The area would include a boardwalk, residential development, a senior center, and a new site for the Orange County Action Association (“Meals on Wheels”). • Lamar State College-Orange has also been included in the development plan and will have its own series of meetings in the future.

Objectives of the plan are to work with existing assets and to decide what fits, what is actually possible, and what design amenities will benefit the largest number of people. Jeffrey Carbo of Jeffrey Carbo Landscape Architects and Site Planners notes that Orange has many assets in place that other cities of comparable sizes, and larger, do not. “Orange has so much to offer already,” he said. “And we want to help build upon that and improve what is already here. You have so many amazing museums and architecture, and the Sabine River. That provides many opportunities that other cities do not have.” Carbo said the purpose is to provide amenities that would bring people downtown on a regular basis and even encourage people to move to downtown. He added that much of the current architecture, such as the Orange Police Department and Orange City Hall, would blend in well with what is under consideration. Carbo believes the inclusion of a larger, open-space park extending from the corner of Green Avenue and Sixth Street, where Stark Park is now, and stretching to the corner of Eighth Street and Front, would be a huge benefit for Orange. The inclusion of a performance pavilion would allow for a variety of activities, such as daytime events, brown bag lunches, and weekend concerts. Early planning for the pavilion estimates it would accommodate approximately 2,000 to 3,000 people, while the park itself would be lined with trees and left open instead of being cluttered with structures. Housing would also be a key component of any riverfront development. One part of the plan suggests housing

be available for people with low-to-moderate incomes. Carbo said the old Jack Tar Hotel is a prime example of an area for housing development, and noted that, as more people relocate to the area, it is expected that more businesses would relocate here as well. According to Jay Trahan, director of Orange Economic Development, the city of Orange has experienced its fair share of growth and chance since Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Trahan said few businesses have left the city or closed their doors since the storm. Many have started construction, such as Bridge City Bank and Subway, while projects that were under construction prior to the storm have since been completed, like the La Quinta Inn and Suites and Comfort Inn on State Highway 62 and Interstate 10. A handful of new businesses have relocated to Orange since Hurricane Ike as well. After a five-year absence, Papa John’s Pizza purchased a new location on MacArthur Drive and opened for business in summer 2009. And local consumers also gained an option for retail items such as clothing, shoes, and housewares when national retail outlet Burke’s opened its doors in West Orange in 2009.

Granger Chevrolet Harmon Chevrolet, Inc., now Granger Chevrolet, was established in December 1887 and became one of the first members of the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce. The Harmon family were the first to introduce modern automotive transportation to those who lived and worked here, and Granger Chevrolet continues to be an important part of the local economy. GM reduced dealership numbers in 2009, but Granger Chevrolet was not one of those dealerships closed. Sales at Granger Chevrolet have increased over 200 percent in the past few years, despite the national economic slowdown. Al Granger is an active member of the community and serves on the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

Capital One Bank Capital One’s main branch in Orange was established December 2, 1901, and at the time was the only banking institution in the area. Today Capital One Bank has three locations in the Greater Orange Area and is a part of Capital One Financial Corporation, with 743 locations.

Centerpoint Entergy Centerpoint Entergy, formerly Entex, established operations in Orange in 1927. Their organization currently serves 3.2 million customers and is based in Houston, Texas. Originally founded in 1866, the Houston Gas Light Company organized to supply gas to the then tiny settlements of Southeast Texas. In 1887 the company took over its rival, Houston Electric Light and Power. Over the course of the next 40 years, Houston Light and Power and Houston Gas and Fuel dominated the Texas and Louisiana area. In 1970 the company merged with Pennzoil and spun off the natural

gas distribution, which became first Entex, then, in 2002, Centerpoint Entergy. The company has had an enormous impact on the coastal areas of Texas and Louisiana. In 1868 they began distributing gas to customers. In 1905 they granted the first franchise for distribution of natural gas to Shreveport, Louisiana. Houston Light & Power pioneered the concept of using natural gas as boiler fuel in 1926. Centerpoint Entergy shares the resilience of businesses in our area affected by hurricanes. Hurricane Carla caused $1.5 million in damage to HL&P property on September 11, 1961. Following Hurricane Katrina, crews addressed damaged natural gas lines in Louisiana and Mississippi and sent aid to four states to restore power. Less than a week later, crews were again working to restore power to Texas residents, including those in Orange, who were impacted by Hurricane Rita. In 2008 they responded to the largest power outage in Texas history, caused by the impact of Hurricane Ike. Today the company employs about 8,800, with assets totaling nearly $19 billion. They provide services that include electric transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution, natural gas sales and services, interstate pipeline, and field service operations.

Texas State Optical In the early 1900s a large number of Jewish immigrants began to come through the port of Galveston. They would travel town to town peddling wares purchased at their port of entry. When a hospitable community was found, these entrepreneurs would settle and bring in other family members. Orange had developed a small nucleus of Jewish-owned businesses by the late 1880s. Such were the beginnings of businesses that became well known, including another of the Orange Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest members, Texas State Optical of Orange, a member since 1936. The Rogers family opened their first TSO in Beaumont, and shortly thereafter, opened a second store in Orange. Their company vision

Dallas Insurance Another long-standing member of the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, Dallas Insurance was created in 1949 by A. C. Barnette as Barnette Insurance, which evolved into Barnette Culpepper Insurance when Ben Culpepper, his father-in-law, joined in the agency. It remained Barnette Culpepper until October 16, 2000, when Ben Culpepper selected Tony Dallas to carry on the company. In 2007, Tony changed the name to Dallas Insurance Agency and wrote home, auto, life, and commercial policies. In early 2009, all life, health, and commercial insurance policies moved to sister company TK Insurance Services. Dallas Insurance now carries policies on all personal life insurance. Tony is a lifetime resident of Orange, as is his partner in TK Insurance Services, Kevin Williams. Tony is very active in the community, helping with the WO-S booster club, the Lions Club, and local youth sports. From their earliest roots, business members of the Chamber of Commerce have continued to bring innovation and resilience to our economy, while often bringing a farreaching economic impact to our state and national economies. The businesses we have profiled here are among our long-standing members and are a testimony to the continuity of good business in our community.

Delle Bates Studio: A Dream Realized

www.cdellebates.com

Art was always a part of C. Delle Bates life, but it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that he was able to pursue his dream full time. In 1995, Bates sold his nearly 20-year-old business and finally was able to realize his dream of creating art on a full-time basis. C. Delle Bates Studio is located in downtown Orange. The 28-foot-tall ceiling boasts a colorful profusion of Bates’ handiwork. The formative influences of Picasso, Russian expressionist Nicholai Fechin, and the strong lines and vivid colors of Theo Tobiasse can be seen in his works. Exotic still lifes harbor a Mediterranean cityscape in a terra cotta vase; seedpods burst from brilliant red poppies; and animated religious icons raise the spiritual life to transcendence. Bates’ style is unmistakeable and his use of color is astounding, as depicted in one of his more famous works, Spires of Orange. Bates’ many works have been on display at numerous facilities in Orange and Southeast Texas, including the highly anticipated Art in the Park event. www.goacc.org

Orange Community Players: The Show Must Go On

abundant throughout the Greater Orange Area, offering a wide range of activities from which to choose.

Founded in 1950, local theater group the Orange Community Players has entertained thousands of patrons throughout the years with side-splitting comedies, bone-chilling drama, and toe-tapping musicals. But the group has certainly undergone their share of setbacks along the way. Located in downtown Orange, the playhouse received heavy damage from Hurricane Rita in 2005. The Orange Community Players reopened the doors in April 2008 after many months and $450,000 in remodeling, including a much-needed facelift, ramps on the sidewalk and in the auditorium, and new paint and fixtures for the lobby and restrooms. Alas, the upgrades to the venerable facility were short-lived, courtesy of Hurricane Ike in September 2008. Much of the theater, including the backstage and most of the storage rooms, was flood-damaged. The lobby had two feet of standing water in it, and, once the water withdrew, a thick muck covered every inch of floor space that had been submerged. Even through adversity, the Orange Community Players have continued to persevere and show no signs of giving up. The theater group continues to offer area patrons four productions each year, as well as their annual fundraiser, “Broadway Fun for Funds,” each spring.

City of Orange Parks Twelve parks (Brownwood, Levingston, Lions, Navy, Northway, Norwood, Ochiltree, Pocket, Ridgemont, Simmons, Solomon Johnson, and Sunset) are located within Orange city limits, and most are pleasantly shaded under majestic trees. These parks feature paths for walking and jogging, plenty of benches, and a lot of playground equipment for the children to play on.

Every Neighborhood Has a Nearby Park

There’s a lot to do around Orange, especially for outdoors lovers. When the sun is shining, Orange really comes alive. Parks are

Lions Park is named for its large, intricate stone carving of a lion. The park is popular with families because of the Lions Den Community Playground, designed by school children and built by volunteers as a fantasy playground for all to enjoy. Families also like to spread picnic blankets on the hill beside the bayou, and a covered area is available for larger groups. Memorial Field Park has fields for baseball and four lighted tennis courts. Ochiltree Park, well-known for picnics and fishing, has a scenic view of the water, usually with a nice breeze to accompany it.

Northway Park has a mile-long jogging trail winding through a wooded area. There are also swings and slides to entertain the youngsters. Simmons Field Park has a basketball court, picnic area, and playground. Sunset Park has a spacious playground and a large playing area. Other municipal parks are scattered throughout the city, so every neighborhood has a nearby park. Three parks totaling 32 acres are maintained for athletic activities such as tennis, softball, youth football, soccer, and baseball. Additionally, the city is in the process of developing a large area off Simmons Drive, along the Sabine River, which will be known as Riverfront Park. It will include boat-launch ramps, picnic areas, and facilities for area festivals. The Orange Parks & Recreation Department sponsors several athletic groups year round. The department provides facilities on a contract basis, with sports and events that include baseball, football, soccer, swimming, and tennis being run by a board of directors. A Texas Amateur Athletic Federation-sanctioned softball league is conducted in the spring and summer. A complete list of youth sports organizations is available at the Chamber of Commerce office. Orange County Parks Orange County operates two parks. Blue Bird Fish Camp is located off Simmons Drive and has boat ramps and picnic tables. Claiborne West Park is located off Interstate 10 in Vidor, 12 miles west of Orange. Claiborne West has 453 acres with picnic tables, cookout areas, a children’s playground, and a sculpted amphitheater with a seating capacity of 300. This park also offers electrical outlets, water, restrooms, public covered shelters with barbecue grills, a softball field, hiking trails, a lookout cabin, and a stocked fish pond. For additional information on this beautiful park, call 409-745-2255. Pinehurst and West Orange Parks Pinehurst has two parks, one on Lark Street with playground equipment, and the other on West Park Avenue with a jogging trail and exercise bars. West Orange has Wesco Park, which features a large grassy area for sports and other events, as well as a children’s playground. They are also in the process of developing a second park, to include a gazebo and small walking track, off Western Avenue near City Hall.
