The idea came from businessmen and city leaders who had a desire to widen side streets, improve parking and make the downtown Kennewick business district more attractive. Concrete canopies shield out the sun. There are seats for shoppers. Shrubs, trees, and flowers now beautify the downtown area.

Designer and creator of the handsome 32-inch trophy is Lewis McCord, division chairman of the performing arts department, Columbia Basin College, Pasco. McCord began with a four-inch slab of rough wood. After a month of off-and-on work, and using a variety of chisels, gouges, saws and sandpaper, there was created the Atomic Cup trophy. McCord calls it a “psych-atomic” Letter-A. Don’t look for it in the dictionary, but “psych-atomic” refers to the perspective of people living within range of one of the world’s largest atomic installations. The winner of the trophy will have no fear of dupli cation. Into his trophy case will go the only psych-atomic trophy in the world! poses with the Atomic Cup Trophy.

Whitman taught the Indians farming, the use of tools and reading. (He and Spaulding translated and printed the first books in the Cayuse language on a missonary press.) Triggered by the influx of settler and an epi demic of measles, the Indians revolted in 1847 and massacred Whitman, his wife, and 12 others at the mission. The massacre was the beginning of the Oregon Indian wars, which led to the creation of the Oregon Territory in 1848, and military protection for settlers. "Here, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman ministered to the spiritual and physical needs of the Cayuse Indians and immigrants of the Oregon Trail from 1836 until killed by the Indians in 1847." Today, this monu ment near Walla Walla and a museum mark the site of the Whitman Mission, one of the first two Protestant missions in the Northwest. The Whitmans built Waillatpu, which means "Place of Rye Grass," in the Cayuse language, in 1836, twenty-five miles east of Fort Walla Walla on the Columbia River.
