As punishment for betting on baseball, Cincinnati Reds

lifetime ban from the game. A heated debate continues
to rage as to whether Rose, a former player who remains
the game’s all-time hits leader, should be given a second
chance.

Gubser and Forest Ridge
tapped for new principals
BY MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
The 2019-20 school year
will feature a pair of new
principals at Keizer Elemen-
tary schools.
Karl Paulson will be tak-
ing over the principal duties
at Forest Ridge Elementa-
ry while Tom Charboneau
— who was the principal at
Forest Ridge for three years
— heads to Gubser Elemen-
tary.
Paulson has been principal
in the Salem-Keizer School
district since 2008 with his
previous position coming
with Pringle Elementary.
“I have had multiple peo-
ple already tell me how great

is,” Paulson said. “The peo-
ple I’ve met already, whether

school.
“Something I like to tell

“I’m defi nitely
a student-fi rst
principal. I
want to do
what’s best
for them.”
“There have defi nitely
been open lines of commu-
nication between Karl, Dave
and I to make each of our
moves successful. We have
been picking each other’s
brains and have been try-
ing to fi gure out the visions
that they had and keep those
good things moving for-
ward,” Charboneau said.
Charboneau is defi nitely
entering the Gubser com-
munity at an exciting time.
As a part of the $619.7
million bond measure, Gub-
ser will have a new cafeteria
and kitchen, as well as three
new classrooms, which are
scheduled to be ready in
time for the beginning of the
2019-20 school year.
With the new classrooms,
Gubser will no longer be re-
liant on the use of portables.
The bond also covers sev-
eral building improvement
projects that include HVAC
upgrades, a replacement of
partition walls and gymnasi-
um upgrades.
“The construction and the
bond work has created great
opportunities for kids. I like
that the whole school will
be under one roof,” Char-
boneau said. “There will be
whole classes and grade lev-
els that will get to eat lunch
together now, which wasn’t
possible before they built the
new cafeteria.”
“There are a lot of really
good things going on to sup-
port the students.”
Similar to Paulson, Char-
boneau emphasized how im-
portant relationships are at
the school that he’s at.
“I’m defi nitely a stu-
dent-fi rst principal. I want
to do what’s best for them. I
understand the vision of the
district,” Charboneau said.
“As far as the vision for Gub-
ser, I still want to see what
that is so I can best meet the
needs of the students.”
“It all starts with relation-
ship building, both with the
staff and the students, as well
as with the parents and the
community. That is defi nitely
a big part of laying the foun-
dation.”
With the start of school
coming early next month,
Charboneau is greatly look-
ing forward to hit the ground
running.
“I’m super excited to join
the Gubser community. Ever
since I came to Salem-Keiz-
er I have always heard great
things
about
(Gubser).
There’s defi nitely some leg-
acy there that I am excited
about joining.”
