OBITUARIES
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Lorraine Ruth Trott Enos
Freda (Tootsie) Herman Bafus
Hermiston
December 20, 1918 - September 12, 2017
Pendleton
June 14, 1916 - September 27, 2017
Lorraine Ruth Trott Enos
was born 20 December,
1918, in Burnett County,
Wisconsin, and died 12
September, 2017, in Herm-
iston, Oregon, following a
brief illness. She remained
active and in good health
right up until her demise, and
she left this worldly existence
in peace and in expectation of
eternal life.
Lorraine
remained
youthful in outlook and open
to new friendships and expe-
riences throughout her entire
life. She never overlooked
opportunities to make new
friends, and to help people out
whenever she could. She is
survived by her one offspring,
Antone (Tony) Enos, and
several nieces, nephews and
their spouses, children, and
grandchildren. These include
Dennis Hauner and his wife
Sylvia, Dorothy Routh and
her husband David, Suzy
Bredemeyer and Joyce Trott
Scott, as well as a multitude
of other blood relatives and
“adopted” family, who all
remain devoted to her and her
memory.
At her death, Lorraine was
the last remaining offspring
of Malcolm Trott, a farmer
at the time of her birth,
and Cecil Dudrey Trott, a
registered nurse. Her siblings
were Evelyn and Ross, who
were older, and Loren and
Joy, who were younger than
Lorraine. The Trott family
moved from Wisconsin to
International Falls, Minne-
sota, when she was about nine
years old, and they eventually
purchased land on the Rainy
River, between Minnesota
and the Province of Ontario,
Canada. They developed this
property into a popular resort
for hunters, fishermen, and
boating enthusiasts.
Sometime after her 20th
birthday, Lorraine moved
west to escape the notori-
ously raw and frigid winters
of northern Minnesota. In
Arizona, she ventured briefly
into a career in film, appearing
in a small, non-speaking role
in “The Westerner” (1940)
starring Gary Cooper and
Doris Davenport. Taking the
advice of her good friend,
actor Fred Stone, who had a
very dim view of Hollywood
and its treatment of proper
young ladies, she decided not
to pursue an acting career,
and instead opted to continue
helping her mother Cecil,
who as it turned out had a
knack for buying and devel-
oping real estate.
By the time the United
States declared war on
Germany and her brothers
Ross and Loren were fighting
for their country, Ross in the
South Pacific and Loren in
North Africa and later Italy,
Lorraine stepped up to the
plate and obtained her certif-
icate in welding and went to
work building ships for the
U.S. Navy, in the shipyards of
Portland, Oregon. Her excep-
tional speed and efficiency
got her recognized with many
awards, including having
a landing craft named “Pat
Trott” in her honor. (Pat was
her nickname, for reasons lost
to time.) When the war ended,
she along with most other
women working in the indus-
trial field left her job so that
returning U.S. soldiers would
have work upon mustering
out of the military. Eventu-
ally she ended up moving to
northeastern Oregon, along
with her parents and sisters
Evelyn and Joy.
The Trott family purchased
land in Umatilla and north
of Hermiston, the latter of
which became Trott’s Acres,
which still exists as a moder-
ate-sized community of small
homes on subdivided land.
Shortly afterwards, Lorraine
met
her
husband-to-be
Richard Enos, a construction
worker and fourth generation
Californian, who had come
north after being discharged
from the Army to work on
McNary Dam. They married
and had one child, Antone,
who ultimately retraced his
father’s northbound foot-
steps and, after getting his
bachelor’s degree in nursing,
moved first to San Francisco
and then to Los Angeles,
where he currently resides.
Mrs. Enos is perhaps
best known for her business
which provided “flag cars”
or “pilot cars” for wide,
long, and tall construction
equipment, wind-powered
electicity generators, and
mobile homes. She owned
and operated this business
and drove flag car herself
from approximately 1967 up
until the time she was forced
to stop driving pilot cars
herself because she required
a front-wheel walker to get
around after breaking a hip.
Despite her advanced
age, her mobility issues,
and despite the death of her
husband Richard in 1994,
Lorraine continued to live
at home and to move freely
around her community,
seeing friends, attending
church services, and living a
happy life in spite of the loss
of so many of her relatives
and friends that she cared
about so deeply. She always
said she never wanted to go
to a nursing home, and thanks
to the kind assistance of her
nephew Dennis Hauner and
niece Dorothy Routh, she
never did have to do that.
Funeral services will be at
the Hermiston Seventh-day
Adventist Church (855 W.
Highland Ave., Hermiston,
OR 97838, 541-567-8241) on
Saturday, 4 November, 2017.
In lieu of flowers, Lorraine
would have preferred that
donations be made to
Laymen Ministries, 414
Zapada Road, St. Maries, ID

Lorraine, and who would

Freda (Tootsie) Herman
Bafus, 101, of Pendleton
passed away on September
27, 2017.
Freda was born June 14,
1916, on a farm
three miles north of
Colfax, Wash., to
William (Bill) and
Louise
Herman.
She
attended
Hubbard County
School for 3 years,
and then moved
to Colfax with her
family and attended
Martha Washington
Grade
School Bafus
and Colfax High
School. After graduation she
worked at Colfax Security
Insurance Company for three
years, and then worked for
Old National Bank in Colfax
for 10 years.
On February 23, 1945,
she married Robert G. (Bob)
Bafus and they lived on the
ranch near Dusty, Wash.
In 1948 they purchased
the McCrosky ranch near
Steptoe, Wash. In the span
of the next 18 years they
owned ranches in Arlington,
Oregon; Lexington, Oregon;
Horseheavens near Prosser,
Washington; and in 1963 they
purchased the Barney Foster
ranch seven miles Northeast
of Pendleton, Ore. Later they
purchased the Rothrock,
Krosting, Schaefer, Horn and
Malony ranches near their
home ranch near Adams,
Oregon. They also purchased
ranches in Ritzville, Wash.,
and Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Freda continued working
as Bob’s bookkeeper until
Bob’s death in 1996.
Freda enjoyed traveling
with Bob to horse races
to watch their horses run
and to car shows where
Bob enjoyed wheeling and
dealing older cars. Freda
enjoyed buying and selling
antiques, as Freda owned
and operated an antique store
in downtown Pendleton for
35 years known as Freda ’N
Friends, only having to close
in 2014 due to her
failing eye sight.
Into her early 90s
she enjoyed golfing
in Pendleton as
well as in Yuma,
Arizona, where she
spent many winters
after Bob’s passing.
Preceding her
in death were her
husband Bob in
1996, her mother
and father, sisters
Esther McMeekin, Elsie
Moser and Alvina Emerson,
and brothers Emil Herman,
Ernie Herman and Edwin
Herman. She is survived by
numerous nieces, nephews
and stepgrandchildren.
A big thank you to her
doctor, the Pendleton EMTs,
her many friends and a

The winners that
soared and sank
By MARK LEWIS
Associated Press
STAVANGER, Norway — The Nobel Peace Prize does
more than recognize the past achievements of individuals.
By honoring causes and movements, the five-member
Norwegian Nobel Committee often is encouraging future
work toward peace.
But promising initiatives and peace processes some-
times flicker out, frustrating the committee’s optimistic
intentions. Other laureates go on to surpass the deeds that
won them the Peace Prize.
As the committee prepares to announce the winner
of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on Oct. 6, a look at some
Nobel Peace Prize laureates who fell short, some who were
undoubted successes and others who landed somewhere in
between:
AP Photo, File
In this Dec. 10, 1994 file photo, PLO leader Yasser
Arafat, left, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,
centre, and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres
pose with their medals and diplomas, after receiv-
ing the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo’s City Hall.
NOBEL DISAPPOINTMENTS
1994: Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat
The Oslo peace accords of 1993 — brokered in part
by Norwegian diplomats in the city that’s home to the
Peace Prize — looked to have laid the groundwork for
solving one of the planet’s most intractable disputes: peace
in the Mideast. Israel’s Prime Minister Rabin, its Foreign
Minister Peres and Palestinian Liberation Organization
leader Arafat jointly won the 1994 prize after agreeing to
build a peace framework. But many at the time saw Arafat
as an unapologetic terrorist and, within months, Rabin had
been slain by a Jewish Israeli fanatic. The accords grad-
ually crumbled and almost 25 years later, Mideast peace
looks further away than ever.
1973: Henry Kissinger
Then-U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger was supposed to
share the prize with North Vietnamese negotiator Le Duc
Tho for the Paris-brokered cease-fire in the Vietnam War.
Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee might have
known they were on shaky ground when Tho became the
first and only person to refuse the Peace Prize. Kissinger
didn’t turn up to claim his and continues to be a figure
negatively associated with the Vietnam War, which would
rage on for another three years. Two Nobel committee
members resigned in protest at his award.
1919: Woodrow Wilson
After the First World War spilled a generation of blood
in Europe, U.S. President Wilson cajoled the other big
powers into creating The League of Nations. The idea was
that whenever trouble flared, the international community
could solve the crisis before it erupted into another global
war. In practice, the U.S. itself never ratified entering the
League, more than half of its founding nations dropped out
and within 20 years the world faced a global war again.
NOBEL SUCCESS STORIES
1993: Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk
The joint prize to black apartheid hero Mandela and
white regime leader de Klerk, satisfied the Peace Prize
Committee’s favored tactic of honoring figureheads from
both sides of a political divide. The panel awarded the
pair for their “work for the peaceful termination of the
apartheid regime, and for laying the groundwork for a new
democratic South Africa.” The statement is as powerful as
it is lasting and their prize remains an enduring symbol of
racial reconciliation.
1964: Martin Luther King Jr.
In his acceptance address for the 1964 Nobel Peace
prize, King said it’s “better to suffer in dignity than to
accept segregation in humiliation.” A year after delivering
his famous “I have a dream” speech, the American civil
rights leader dedicated his Nobel prize to the activists
who he called the “real heroes of the freedom struggle” to
outlaw racial discrimination in the United States.
1990: Mikhail Gorbachev
Some people in Russia and elsewhere might grumble
today that by allowing the Soviet Union to collapse, its last
leader Gorbachev handed global hegemony to the United
States. But by pledging not to interfere in the internal
affairs of nearby states, Gorbachev handed millions of
Eastern Europeans the right to national self-determination.
The most potent symbol of his pledge was the fall of the
Berlin Wall in 1989, which signaled the end of the Cold
War.
NOBEL MIXED BAG
1991: Aung San Suu Kyi
An inspirational figurehead for peace and democracy
while she was a political prisoner for years under Myanmar’s
ruling military junta, Suu Kyi has become less admired
since becoming the country’s de facto leader. The 1991
prize winner is still admired for defying the generals, but has
drawn criticism from fellow laureates Malala Yousafzai and
Desmond Tutu for her perceived indifference to Myanmar’s
ethnic cleansing of its Rohingya minority.
2012: The European Union
Awarded for 60 years of advancing “peace and reconcil-
iation, democracy and human rights,” the 2012 prize could
not have come at a less auspicious time for the European
Union. Several of its members’ economies were staggering
under a debt crisis, its shared euro currency was at risk
and anti-EU populism was brewing. In 2017, with its own
members fiercely at odds over immigration and national
rights and Britain poised to leave the bloc altogether, the
EU is struggling to redefine its mission.
2009: Barack Obama
Receiving the award after serving less than nine months
as U.S. president, Obama was cited “for his extraordinary
efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and coop-
eration between peoples.” While Obama, America’s first
black president, won wide praise and approval in Europe,
by the end of his eight years in office, U.S.-Russia relations
were at a post-Cold War low and the United States was
fighting in both Afghanistan and Syria.
