Myers (R-At Large), chairman of the Loudoun County Board of . Supervisors. "Now they will have to change them again to reflect the new Zip codes." Originally, Bell Atlantic planned to formalize the new area code in July 1996, which would have coincided with the ZIP code change. Bell Atlantic decided last year to move up the date because the explosion of pagers, fax machines and cellular telephones was rapidly eating up the available telephone numbers in the old 703 area code. Bell Atlantic spokesman Paul Miller said Monday he was unaware of the ZIP code change. "There is absolutely no relationship," between the post office and the telephone industry, and no reason to coordinate changes. Miller said. "In our case the change was driven not so much by population growth as technology," Miller said. The new ZIP codes surround Washington Dulles International Airport, where development is brisk. The area will have its own ZIP code series beginning with 201. Mail volume in the area grew more than 15 percent between 1990 and 1995, Strasser said. In Northern Virginia as a whole, mail volume increased 23 percent in the past three years, he said. Customers will get a card in the mail this week informing them of the coming change. Virginia's new 540 area code became official Saturday, after the expiration of a six-month grace period in which the old 703 area code still worked. The area code applies to Western Virginia from Lee County in the Southwest to Washington's outer suburbs. Dozens of business owners in Fauquier County pleaded with RICK THOMPSOShtaff photographer Bell Atlantic to delay the switch over because of problems upgrading some phone systems to dial the new code.

It is an organically grown variety from El Salvador, which is marketed by Equal Exchange, a nonprofit group that helps small farms survive in the developing country. Eberly opened his espresso bar with the idea of serving the JMU student population, although he said he gets a surprising number of clients from the community.

We've all seen the coffee commercials showing Juan Valdez standing in a grocery store aisle with his donkey, promoting coffee "hand-picked by Juan Valdez." Many would probably be surprised to know there really is at least one real Juah Valdez, and he lives in the tiny village of Frias, in the Andes Mountains of Colombia. Ken Gonyer mei him and his family during a trip to Colombia in December 1990. Along with his wife and five children, Juan farms a beautiful hillside covered with bushy coffee plants. An hour before the sun rises, Juan picks enough beans to half-fill the sacks slung over his burro's back. By afternoon, he and his family will pool their harvest and load the beans into a press, where they end up drying out on top of a screen in the sun. After bagging them up and selling them to the coffee companies, the corporations clean, roast, package and distribute the final product to international markets. JMU students and Harrisonburg residents enjoy taking a coffee break during the day at the Artful Dodger, 47 Court Square, where all types of gourmet drinks are offered.
