omestead Brew Specialty Coffee in Sumner has far more meaning for Keri Shiner than owning and operating a business. It is way to remember and an inspiration for her life. Shiner lost her son, Jared Trudeau, June 27, 2012, to a motorcycle accident. He was 21.
Shiner has turned the grief of her loss into a positive experience for herself and her daughter, Jamie Trudeau. Shiner decided to purchase Homestead Brew located in McLendon’s parking lot when her daughter told her it was for sale. Trudeau had worked at the coffee stand for the previous owners. Shiner said she initially agreed to buy the stand because it would give her “something to do” after her son’s death. “This stand is something Jamie and I can do together,” Shiner said. Since purchasing Homestead Brew, Shiner has received advice, assistance and support from many friends and business associates. SEE COFFEE, PAGE 2

The Sound Transit Board voted Aug. 28 to purchase the Bonney Lake Park and Ride from Pierce Transit. Pierce Transit discontinued service to the Bonney Lake Park and Ride in June 2012 by stopping the route 496 bus, which ran between the Park and Ride and Sumner Sounder Station. Sound Transit then picked up the route as ST Express Route 596, which will continue to take riders to the train station. “We had some concern when we were cut out of Pierce Transit,” said Dan Morrison, city administrator for Bonney Lake. “But we were able to maintain the bus service through Sound Transit. We are really happy we can retain a park and ride here. It is good for Sumner, Puyallup and Bonney Lake that Sound Transit made the purchase.” Sound Transit agreed to purchase the Park and Ride from Pierce Transit for $2,810,000. However, Sound Transit will receive a credit against the purchase price for $123,135 from Pierce Transit for repair work.
