The anc.dc.gov site sometimes doesn't have the phone field in its table. That breaks the scraper. There's more that can be done to put things in the proper fields, but this will at least allow it to run.

See fb85d5e for what changed.

And as we discussed on slack (but here for posterity) I don't think we're using the output of this scraper for anything. It's pulled in by update_anc_database.py, which we're not running and which also generates an error when I try!
