A woman died after being run over by a big rig in an alleyway behind businesses at a Poway strip mall Tuesday, The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said.
We had problems on Poway Road, where it was narrow.
A feeling of déjà vu struck John Sears and perhaps his two mules when county sheriffs recently escorted them out of the Poway city limits. It was about a week ago, Sears said to me on February 7, we had problems on Poway Road, where it was narrow. He escorted us off Poway Road to the 67 where they intersect.
During this time of the year, the 73-year-old nomad walks our county s streets and bush with his mules, Little Ethel and Little Girl in tow.
The three were almost at Mina De Oro Road, the turnoff to get to the Poway Equestrian Center where the the mules were invited to stay.

The nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day were not just events locals witnessed on television. Hundreds also gathered at street corners in Poway and 4S Ranch to oppose racism and law enforcement violence against Blacks.
Unlike in other parts of the country, including La Mesa and downtown San Diego, local protests remained peaceful and violence-free as those of all ages took to the streets.
While COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were in place to keep crowds from forming for health reasons, the protests were allowed to go on as part of people’s right to freedom of speech. Locally, people were often seen wearing masks, even though social distancing was near impossible in most cases.
