Toby Knapp posted a touching tribute to his longtime friend, Peter “Kane” Deibler, who passed away a year ago at Shady Grove Hospital after a long illness.

The two worked together on The KANE Show, which was a popular FM morning drive program that aired on WIHT Hot 99.5 from 2006 until April 2020. The show was broadcasted out of the IHeartMedia studios at 1801 Rockville Pike in Rockville.


Back in July of 2021 it was announced that the Montgomery County Green Bank and Sandy Spring Bank would be teaming up to provide flexible financing to help the Olney Ale House re-open.

We spoke with a representative from Montgomery County Green Bank in September, who let us know that the construction is moving along well and that construction could take around 3-5 months, but that is just an estimate. They said they want to make sure to keep the county up to date on potential activities around the reopening and would provide additional information soon. We have not heard any additional information since.


During yesterday’s Montgomery County Council meeting, the council passed Bill 1-22, which will require all food service facilities in Montgomery County that offer a children’s meal to also offer at least one healthy children’s meal and beverage option. The bill was introduced by Councilmember Craig Rice and co-sponsored by Council President Gabe Albornoz and Councilmembers Will Jawando and Nancy Navarro.

The bill was enacted by a vote of 8-1, with Councilmember Friedson voting against the legislation.
