PolaCon 2016, a three-day conven-
tion surrounding the re-emergence and
use of instant film, had its inaugural run
this past weekend in Denton and Dallas.
Billed as the first convention of its
kind, PolaCon differs from locally
known PolaWalk gatherings — basical-
ly a scavenger hunt with instant cam-
eras — in that not only is it a multi-day
event, but it has attracted attendees
from around the United States and fea-
tured a keynote address from actor/

“We have fike-minded people get-
ting together to discuss the magic of
film,” said Armand Kohandani, owner
of Denton Camera Exchange and an or-
ganizer of PolaCon. ‘We’re growing,
and [in the future] we’re going to try as
many things as possible.”
PolaCon was conceived through the
collaboration of the Instant Film Soci-
ety, Film Photographic and Denton

Politics is just one place
where deep gaps remain

AP National Writer
For weeks after the vote, the abuse kept coming:
Venomous, sexist phone calls and emails, venting
rage at the five women on Seattle’s City Council who
outvoted four men to derail a sports arena project.
“Disgraceful hag” was one of the milder messag-
es. “Go home and climb in the oven,” one councilor
was told.
This unfolded not in 1966, during an era when
American women mobilized en masse to demand
equality, but 50 years later in May of 2016 — two
months before the first woman was nominated to
lead a major party’s presidential ticket.
It’s a complicated time for gender relations in the
U.S., as the campaign pitting Hillary Clinton against
Donald Trump has underscored — most recently,
with the fallout from their first debate and a sharp
exchange about Trump’s attention to a former Miss
Universe and her weight.
On one hand there’s been great progress toward
equality. Women have climbed to the top of many a
corporate ladder, IBM and General Motors being
just two examples. They were recently approved to
serve in all military combat jobs, and depending on
the election outcome, troops could soon be saluting

o sad to see a long-estab-
lished business fall apart.
That’s what is happening
at Jeff Fleming’s Auto Mainte-
nance Center on South Elm in
Denton.
“I’m on a very small financial
scale on money,” Jeff the me-
chanic says, using a lot of words
instead of one — broke.
“I’ve had multiple bad months
because business is slow beyond
belief. No money coming in. You
still gotta pay rent and mortgage.
All things I’m obligated to. It
messes things up.”

Jeff the mechanic’s office. A few
yards away, outside in front of his
garage, a red 2003 Ford Focus

Jeff the mechanic is giving me
excuses.
Toni Brown brought the car
in for repairs 19 months ago. Let
me repeat that because it’s the
most important detail of this
story. Nineteen months ago.
The 28-year-old Denton
single mother says she paid Jeff
the mechanic $3,700 in three
payments last year and this year.
She still doesn’t have her car
back.
