ABDUCTIONS SPUR ALERT SYSTEM

Town Councilwoman Patricia Biancaniello has decided to spearhead an effort to notify residents of all construction work done in their areas after two abductions in Smithtown neighborhoods last month and a conversation with a concerned citizen about child safety.  Neither abduction was related to construction crews but the initiative would provide information about the presence of outsiders in neighborhoods.  The effort would require the town to post a list of areas where work is being done by laborers, including road, sidewalk and other construction work done by both contractors and town employees on its Web site, Biancaniello said.
