PORTSMOUTH The student became the master and now the former master could regain his previous role. If you replace master with Portsmouth 3rd Ward Councilman that pretty much describes what could be a post-Nov. 2 future.
With Mayor Kevin Johnson not seeking reelection, his former McKinley Middle School science teacher could be his replacement depending first on how voters place their ballots following the May 4 primary.
Jerry Skiver taught at McKinley and many other schools in his 38 years in education, spending a large portion of his time with Portsmouth City Schools. He led both in his classroom and central office during his tenure and now he is again seeking to lead the 3rd Ward.

A hoodie-wearing youth has caused outrage after he was pictured urinating on a war memorial honouring 25,000 servicemen who fell while defending Britain.
The man was caught on camera relieving himself against The Naval Memorial in Portsmouth, Hampshire, which commemorates around 10,000 fallen sailors of the First World War and almost 15,000 of the Second World War.
Veterans today voiced their disgust at the antics and complained that the stone of the memorial is actually deteriorating due to how often it is urinated on.
The shocking scene is the latest in a year-long saga which has seen anti-social thugs desecrating the nationally important monument on the Naval city s seafront during lockdown.
