Casey Associate Editor Plank Road Baptist Conference, North Syracuse Baptist Church, The Gathering Place. Over the last 175 years, this place of worship has gone by many names, but a few things have stayed constant: “The ability to stay true to the foundational elements of the church, following the Lord, and following His work,”
Lead Pastor Rob Burns said. “We’ve always sought to be a church that proclaims the word of God,” Burns said. The Gathering Place at NSBC has planned a series of events this month to celebrate its 175th anniversary. (See the sidebar for event info.) The celebration is centered around Hebrews 13:8, which reads, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Burns reflected on TGP’s history and lega-
cy in the community. Read on:
Yesterday: Plank Road

A 17-year-old Liverpool girl was one of two persons arrested after a traffic stop by Onondaga County Sheriff ’s deputies during the earlymorning hours of Tuesday, Aug. 30, on Old Liverpool Road. The driver of the vehicle – Jaydin Hornbuckle, 21, of Solvay – was charged with criminal possession of a loaded handgun. Tuesday at approximately 2:35 a.m., deputies responded to a complaint about a suspicious vehicle near the Butterfly Garden on the Onondaga Lake Parkway. When deputies arrived there, according to sheriff ’s spokesman Sgt. Jon Seeber, they observed the vehicle – a 2009 Cadillac – quickly flee towards the village of Liverpool, where the driver failed to yield while making a right turn onto Oswego Street. Deputies Alexander Boyland, Tre Fesinger and Justin Sorrento conducted a traffic stop in the 900 block of Old Liverpool Road. After speaking with the two occupants, it was discovered that neither possessed a valid driver’s license nor identification. The driver was taken into custody and when the deputies searched the Cadillac, they discovered a loaded .45 caliber Taurus Judge revolver inside the vehicle. The driver, Jaydin Hornbuckle of Solvay and his 17-year-old female passenger, of Liverpool, were both charged with second degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. Hornbuckle was also issued traffic tickets to include the charge of third degree aggravated unlicensed operation. He was being held in the Corbett Justice Center and was expected to be arraigned that day. The 17-yearold female was expected to be arraigned that day. This is not the first time Hornbuckle has faced serious criminal charges. In July 2017, Oswego County sheriff ’s deputies accused 16-yearold Jaydin Hornbuckle, then of 72 county Route 51A in New Haven, of stealing two long rifles, jewelry and a PlayStation 4 on May 29, 2017 in Scriba. Then on June 1 that year, deputies said Hornbuckle stole two chainsaws from a pole barn in New Haven. In 2017, Hornbuckle was charged with two counts of fourth degree grand larceny and one count of second degree burglary, felonies, and two counts of fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor. He also was charged with fourth degree grand larceny and third degree burglary, both felonies.
