Remembering Cheney sophomore Lorissa Green

Colin Mulvany - The Spokesman-Review

S-R photographer Colin Mulvany covered the candlelight vigil honoring Cheney High School student Lorissa Green who died Friday Jan. 16, 2009 in a two-vehicle accident in the intersection of highway 195 and Cheney- Spokane road.

We wanted to post the video here, also, because we assume some of you may have known Lorissa and want to remember her.

It is an awfully somber topic on a Wednesday, but a real one. Please drive safely today, everyone.

Does anyone have a memory for Lorissa they want to post here?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
