PL6-1729 Mailing address, P.O. Box 747, Plainfield, N.J. 07061 Man charged with kidnap, sex assault SOMERVILLE A 20-year-old Plainfield man was indicted yesterday in connection with the kidnapping, stabbing and sexual assault of a 21-year-old Edison woman in July. The indictment charges Gilbert Greenfield, a former resident of the West Millington section of Bernards, with aggravated assault, kidnapping, robbery, aggravated sexual assault and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. Somerset County Prosecutor Nicholas L.

Bissell Jr. has said the incident occurred July 26 about 5:15 p.m. when the victim agreed to take Greenfield for a ride in her car after he asked about a "for sale" sign displayed in her car's window. After the pair left the Middlesex Mall in South Plainfield, the suspect stabbed the victim in the side and then drove the car to the Basking Ridge Little League Field in Bernards, Bissell said. Bissell contends that Greenfield sexually assaulted the victim in a wooded area near the baseball field and then tied her to a tree with a belt and fled.

The woman was able to free herself and call police. Greenfield was arrested by North Plainfield police while driving the victim's car on Route 22. Bissell said a knife with a 6-inch blade was found in the car. Woman hit by auto on N. Plainfield road NORTH PLAINFIELD A borough woman was taken to a hospital for observation yesterday after she was struck by a car as she attempted to cross Somerset Street at Jackson Avenue, police said.

According to police, Josephine Norell, 65, of 83 Jackson was struck by a car driven by Fernando L. Detterman, 83, of 42 Regent at 1:05 p.m. yesterday. Police said the North Plainfield Rescue Squad took Norell to Muhlenberg Hospital in Plainfield. The hospital had no report on her condition last night.

Teen arrested in Hunterdon school blast Continued from Page A-7 been suspended for 10 days. The suspension could be extended by a decision of the North Hunterdon Regional High School Board of Education next week, he said. Finnegan said the boy confessed after interrogation Friday morning. The principal said he told the school's 1,400 students on the loudspeaker system that the alleged bomber had been caught. "It's important to show that people are doing something that will protect future security, and to show this is not a small-time event it's a major problem," Finnegan said.

"You can run, but you can't hide," he said. "Somehow, we'd find him." The explosion took place shortly after the high school's fifth period began, according to Finnegan. Fifth period at North Hunterdon runs from 11:41 a.m. to 12:21 p.m. The bomb was planted in a stairwell leading to the school's lower level, where English classes are held, according to school officials.

The explosive device was discovered after faculty members heard the noise, police said. Sheriff's officers and a bomb-sniffing dog from the Somerset County Sheriff's Department prowled through the school Thursday searching for more bombs, Finnegan said. No other explosives were found. Pipes, shells and other materials were later discovered in the arrested student's car trunk, however, Finnegan said. Finnegan said the alleged bomber was found through the assistance of teachers and students, who talked in classes about the incident and turned up the leads that eventually led to the arrest.

The suspect had not been a disciplinary problem at school, the principal said. North Hunterdon High School serves students from six northern Hunterdon County municipalities. Voorhees High School, in Lebanon Township, holds students from the other six communities that make up the North Hunterdon Regional school district. The bombing is a first for the district, officials said.

Carl Bressan, Summit's city engineer, predicted there would be "minimal impact" on his town. "If thing there would a slighting diminishing of traffic on local roads," he said of the proposed traffic plan. Scotch Plains Administrator Thomas Atkins said the proposed traffic plan could reduce the number of garbage haulers now coming through the township from neighborcommunities on their way to Edgeboro.

"There's no question that hauling to Rahway is going to be cheaper than going to Edgeboro," Kazar said. He said haulers are also expected to spend less time waiting to unload than they currently do at the landfill, which would also mean a cost saving. Bank won't require radon testing Continued from Page A-7 James Staples, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection, said the agency suggested that the bank drop the requirement because there are no guidelines to determine at what level radon becomes a hazard. He said the DEP offered to provide information kits on radon to First National Bank of Central Jersey and other financial institutions. According to a statement released Thursday, the bank originally required the testing "for the consumer's But following a meeting with officials of the DEP, the bank officers felt that "the steps being taken by the DEP are satisfactory to the bank and will enable National Bank to remove the radon testing as a condition for mortgage loans." The statement referred customers to the DEP radon hotline at (609) 292-5586 for further information.

No home testing had actually occurred between the original announcement and the cancellation of the testing requirement, according to Robert Schmid, the bank's marketing director, because "it happened too quickly."

"The most disturbing aspect of your case is that for nearly the first 40 years of your life, you appeared to have been a hard working, law-abiding citizen," Diana told Elledge. "You say it was the pressure of working two jobs, but fortunately, countless numbers of our citizens in similar circumstances never fall victim of drug-induced high to forget their problems."

Debate centers on Borough Hall Continued from Page A-7 publicans say the figure is well over $1 million. How is the building's progress being monitored? Critics point to the use of a rocky fill in the foundation and the fill's later replacement by a better grade of material, and question how sound the building's structure will be. How will the building fit into the character of the neighborhood? Residents are worried that its height, design and placement close to the curb will make it stick out in the residential neighborhood. To this architect Max Hayden responds, "I think people should wait on their opinion until the building is finished and landscaped.

I think you will have a building that fits very nicely into the neighborhood." Despite the criticism, no has questioned the need for a new headquarters for the police and municipal workers. For nearly 40 years, the police have been in "temporary" headquarters in: a cinderblock garage which will be torn down once the new building is completed. The municipal workers are just a block down on Somerset Street. Their cramped quarters will be put up for sale. The Republicans had wanted to refurbish the Main Street railroad station for new offices, but the Democrats, taking power in 1984, were able to muster support for the site as it is being built now.

The plan's supporters note that the site of the municipal-police complex was chosen several years ago and the basic outline of the building was designed by a Somerville firm before being completed by the Trenton firm of Clarke Caton. The L-shaped building will house the Police Department along the section on Hamilton Street, while municipal offices will be on Somerset Street. The two buildings are connected by a large conference and meeting room with a domed roof.
