The Iowa Board of Pharmacy recently charged Houck Pharmacy of Mason City with incorrectly compounding a medication resulting in an overdose to a minor patient. The available board records give no indication as to the patient outcome or when the incident occurred. The board charged Houck Pharmacy with five regulatory violations: dispensing an incorrect medication to a patient; failure to comply with regulations related to compounding nonsterile preparations; failure to include all of the required information in compounding records; failure to maintain a perpetual inventory of Schedule II narcotics; and failure to maintain a controlled substance accountability program. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX To resolve the case, Houck Pharmacy has agreed to pay a $500 civil penalty and have its pharmacy license placed on probation for 12 months. In a related matter, Hillary Lee Lunning of Mason City was charged by the board with incorrectly compounding a medication resulting in an overdose to a minor patient. The available board documents give no indication as to where or when the alleged violation occurred, but corporate records indicate Lunning is the president of Houck Drug Co., which operates Houck Pharmacy. Lunning has agreed to pay a $500 civil penalty and have her license placed on probation for one year. A central Iowa pharmacist has agreed to refrain from practicing in Iowa. According to the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, Jeffrey Bates of Indianola has agreed to refrain from practicing any aspect of pharmacy in Iowa in order to 'meet the board's interest in protecting the public.' The publicly available board documents provide no information as to what led to the agreement but stipulates that Bates is 'unable to practice' due to an administrative regulation that relates to pharmacists 'diverting prescription drugs from a pharmacy for personal use or for distribution.' Although the board has not disclosed where Bates worked at the time of the alleged regulatory violation, his National Provider Identifier records indicate he has worked at the Hy-Vee pharmacy at 910 N. Jefferson Way in Indianola. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE

Did Panthers assistant coach nearly spill the beans on a big impending move?
Did Panthers assistant coach nearly spill the beans on a big impending move? Jalen Ramsey incoming? 👀 Panthers assistant coach Daren Bates appears to know something we don't.@Raw__Room | @NC_Remy — Michael Bell (@avl_mike) May 29, 2025 Something big may or may not be in the works for the Carolina Panthers. On Wednesday's episode of the Raw Room podcast, special teams assistant Daren Bates was asked about the Panthers' progress through this point of the offseason. The second-year coach offered up his thoughts on some of the organization's transactions as well as what the team is up to in their early workout sessions. When talking about building the roster with their new additions, however, Bates may have nearly offered up a tad too much. Take a listen . . . Hmmm . . . What could that unknown information possibly be? The theory most Panthers fans may rush to might involve three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who is seemingly on the outs with the Miami Dolphins. Ramsey appears likely to be traded in the coming weeks, and raised some eyebrows with his recent praise of Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Or perhaps Bates was thinking about another kind of defensive back. The Panthers should still be in the market for a starting safety, and have already met with free agents Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams earlier this spring. Or, maybe it's not even a big move at all. Only Bates, and obviously a select few, would know. But whatever that information is, we may be very close to finding it out.
