Chapter 3
Llanview the quiet town in PA not too far from Philadelphia. It may seem quaint but it has its share of difficulties. There are many skeletons in the closets of many of its citizens especially those who consider themselves the ‘rich and famous’. The Buchanans, the Lords and the Cramers are just a few. They have their country club, their gated communities and their mansions to set themselves apart but they sometimes forget that they all breathe the same air and unless they have a private water spring on their property, they drink the same water. Too many times citizens forget that they have more in common than they think and in order for their community to really be great it must provide for all of its citizens.
The OPP case opened the eyes of those in the higher echelons in Llanview to the fact that their sense of exclusivity allowed newcomers and others to believe that such evil actions were welcome and that the greater populace would agree with their methods. Although Llanview didn’t have the mob bosses Corinthos, Sorel, Zacchara, and Alcazar or the high class gentry of the Cassadines running Llanview like they were running Port Charles, NY or like Victor Newman and the Abbotts in Genoa City, WI or like Victor Kiriakis and Stefano DiMera in Salem, IL there are still the have and have nots as found in most towns and cities across the nation. Hate spreads when good people do nothing.
(If not here, then where = the answer is here)
Upon that realization the community came together to make changes. They did not want their community to be remembered as the place where the OPP set up shop and terrorized the city because they found a ‘fertile feeding ground’. No, they would not allow such to ever happen again in their town. Forget committees, no sitting around a table for weeks or months talking about what changes are needed. They already knew and they implemented those changes and those who had the funds made certain that those changes received the necessary funding. Not only the usual Buchanans and Lords but Manning, Hanen, Jones, McBain, and Antonio Vega Santi contributed and those who could not contribute financially they contributed their time and talent.
