Man dies after truck backs over him BY JOSHUA BROWN STAFF WRITER Published: Wednesday, February 4, 2009 4:10 AM EST PRINCE GEORGE — A truck driver died Monday after being hit by a tractor-trailer at the Food Lion Distribution Center in Prince George County, police confirmed Tuesday. Joshua Gilliam, 26, of Knocksville, Tenn., was struck at about 10:30 a.m. Monday at the distribution center on Enterprise Drive, Prince George Lt. Brian Kei said. Gilliam was pronounced dead at the scene. Gilliam, a driver for Land Air Transport, had pulled his truck into the distribution center and was walking in the parking lot when he was hit. Kei said the driver of the tractor-trailer has not been charged. He did not have the driver’s name. .. “(Gilliam) had been inside the building and was on his way back out and he was in the parking lot going back toward his vehicle,” Kei said. “We have reason to believe he was on his cell phone when another tractor-trailer was backing into the area.” Kei said the investigation is still active so it is too early to be certain the other driver was at fault, but he said it did not appear there was any negligence or foul play on the other driver’s part. Gilliam’s body has been sent to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy, Kei said. A Food Lion Distribution Center spokesman could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening. Kei said the center is normally busy with traffic loading and unloading cargo. He didn’t know whether Gilliam or the other driver were loading or unloading. The investigation is being handled jointly by Prince George police and the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry, Kei said.

A confused sub came before a wise Master who adored her. She felt that to submit to him would mean she would open her heart to unbearable pain should he ever leave her. She hungered for him and needed him, but was ready to walk away in panic. The gentle Master knelt her before him and started a tale of love and devotion. As she looked up at him his arms began to widen and open like a large tree stretches its branches to the sky. At that moment the Master appeared rooted to the floor and his impressive size towered above her like a giant tree. Then he began to speak... The Olive Tree I'm here for you...now and always no matter how far time and space takes us.... Whether you walk away from me today or you stay and serve me I will not turn from you. I am as patient as time itself; I will take not from you unless you give freely and completely of yourself but I give onto you regardless-- for my love is unconditional.... Like the olive tree that can both feed you and shade you I am there seemingly eternal to your short life on this earth. If you need my fruit to feed your hunger I will give you all the fruit you need... If your skin grows dry and loses its luster, the oil from my fruit will restore it and make it glisten, When you need comfort my leaves will gently caress your face with the slightest breeze, When you need discipline my branches will correct you when the wind blows strong, If you just need my shade to protect you from the sun, my branches will shade and protect you. If you need warmth at night my fallen branches will fuel the fire to keep you warm and safe; if you need a refreshing breeze my leaves will fan you and cool you. You are my gardener. When you submit to me; you tend that which keeps me vibrant and full of life. When you kneel under me an till the soil you give breath to my roots, When you water me, my sap flows strong through me and raise my limping branches, When you soil yourself collecting fertilizer with your bare hands you strengthen me, and humble me with your devotion. Although my life will go on, life would not be the same without you. Your dedication and unconditional care for me keeps me vibrant and nurtures my very core. The sustenance and protection I give you seems little reward for your servitude. Still the gardener serves the tree from her heart and the tree gives to her heart all that he can! I am planted firmly on the ground and cannot follow you if you walk away from me.... But be assure I will survive. One hundred years later and two of your lifetimes; I will still be there waiting for you in the same spot to offer you all that I do now. Stay with me and be my gardener. You cannot get lost in me for we are complementary to each other. I am your devotion, and you give meaning to my existence. Apart we live life and survive; together we bloom eternally! .... As the Master finished his last words the sub cried herself to sleep at his feet. That night, he stood planted there like the Olive tree offering her his unconditional love and protection as she would tend to him with her devotion the next day....and everyday thereafter.
