					<description><![CDATA[The radio offers a soft backdrop of old and new school Rhythm and Blues. Sounds of light laughter and the bustling of cooks around the kitchen can be heard. Cooks are comfortably interacting with one another and visitors while preparing meals. It seems like a family gathering with food and charming company &#8212; except for the payment transactions distinguishing customers from workers. Actually, it&#8217;s the Langston Grille, the eatery of Langston Golf Course, the first course providing blacks in the District a place to golf. Customers first Traffic is as usual this Saturday morning. &#8220;The morning shift is usually the]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Looking around the common area of the Langston Golf Course in Washington, D.C., one thing is obvious: No one is out of place. A young woman and man enjoy a meal from the course&#8217;s restaurant.&#160; A group of men are engaged in conversation. Others proceed outside to the golf course or watch television. The staff remains ready to offer their services to visitors. Innocent captivation Nyles Smith, 39, stands behind the glass display counter of Langston&#8217;s pro shop processing golfers&#8217; requests into the computer system. The best part about working at Langston is &#8220;taking care of the people,&#8221; Smith says.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[ANC representatives, voters and volunteers showed up to polling site Bunker Hill Elementary School at 1401 Michigan Avenue, Northeast to express their views as D.C. residents on election day. Education was a reoccurring topic. &#8220;Most people I talk to who don&#8217;t want to live in D.C. say &#8216;well I have kids.&#8217; People are concerned about our schools,&#8221; said Kelly Jackson, Ward 5 resident for 10 years. Within the pass year, the District has witnessed several teacher layoffs in an effort, as deemed by the D.C. Public Schools, to restructure the school system.

					<description><![CDATA[As Precinct 67 Captain Andrew Frazier sits at an entrance table of the polling room in Bunker Hill Elementary School, the lights flicker. A man then tells him that there is flooding outside by the voting entrances. Frazier goes outside to see what is going on. He learns that a water main break has caused flooding in the school&#8217;s parking lot and along the 14th Street and Michigan Avenue Northeast side of the building. &#8220;Beginning at approximately 2:45, there was a power surge that caused the touch screen [ballots] to be inoperative,&#8221; Frazier said. Brought on by the flooding, the]]></description>

While power was shut off in some areas of the school due to the break, the poll room remained lighted using auxiliary power, according to Andrew Frazier, precinct captain. Electronic voting halted, all voters were instructed to use paper ballots. By 4:30 p.m, flooding in the area had slacked. More on the story later.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The atmosphere was calm and organized. Young and elderly citizens entered the polling room in the former Bertie Backus Middle School building at 5171 South Dakota Avenue, Northeast. They were ready to cast their ballots for the District&#8217;s primary elections and poll workers were prepared to help. &#8220;The turnout has been low compared to past elections most likely due to early voting,&#8221; explained Dr. Deborah Evans, precinct 66 co-captain. Evans has headed voting poll sites for many years. With poise and patience, she moved from the paper and touch-screen ballot clerk stations to the ballot box station, making sure activities]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With tents raised and signs prominently displayed, volunteers for Ward 5 candidates lined the sidewalk. The groups seemed fired up, their passion electrifying. But this was no campfire gathering. It was the last day of campaigning for longtime Ward 5 residents who, for years, have witnessed the day-to-day changes in their neighborhoods and wanted to see more progress. The volunteers waiting outside Precinct 66 at the former&#160;Bertie&#160;Backus&#160;Middle School on South Dakota Avenue Northeast were vocal about their support for their candidates early evening, yesterday&#160;as they waited for the polls to close in the district&#8217;s primary elections.

The center, located between 10th and 12th Streets at the point where Quincy Street meets Michigan Avenue Northeast, is a buzz of activity. It has become a campaign site for the District&#8217;s primary elections on Sept. 14. Volunteers for Democratic mayoral candidates Adrian M. Fenty and Vincent C. Gray are enthusiastic in their support of their chosen candidates. &#8220;We believe [Fenty] is the best candidate to put people back to work,&#8221; says]]></description>
