What is a hernia?
The abdominal wall wraps around
the center of your body, extending
from below the rib cage to the pelvis.
This wall keeps intestines and other
organs in the abdominal cavity.
When tissue pushes through a
weak spot in a surrounding muscle or
connective tissue, a hernia can occur,
There are several types of hernias re-
lated to the abdominal area, such as a
hiatal hernia thatdevelops near the
upper part of the stomach or the um-
bilical hernia that develops near the
belly button. Types of hernias are
generally named for their location.
Hernias o/:cur more often in men
than women and can occur at any
age, even in infants.
What is an inguinal hernia?
This type of hernia, which occurs
in the part of the abdominal wall
known as the inguinal canal, is the
most commonly occurring type of
hernia. It appears as a bulge in the
groin or scrotum and is more com-
mon in men because the inguinal
canal is where a man's testicles must
descend befbre birth. The internal in-
guinal ring that is left may not seal
properly. If so, a hernia can develop.
What are symptoms of a her-
nia?
The primary symptom is a bulge
in the area where the hernia is lo-
cated. This bulge may form slowly
over a period of weeks or months.
Depending on the location, a bulge
may not be noticeable until the her-

nia is more advanced. Some people
have pain, others don't. You might
also notice swelling, a feeling of
heaviness, tugging or burning.
Symptoms are likely to improve
when you are not physically active or
are lying down.
What causes a hernia?
Many factors can contribute to
fornmtion of a hernia. Inguinal her-
nias, fin" instance, may be related to
birth weaknesses while another ab-
dominal hernia may be caused by
factors related to aging. Poor lifestyle
practices, such as frequent lifting or
being overweight, also contribute to
hernia development.
What can I do to avoid getting
a hernia?
Risk factors that you have the
power to change include maintaining
a healthy weight, learning to lift
properly and developing strong ab-
dominal muscles with a proper diet
and regular exercise. Avoid straining
during urination or bowel move-
ments. Don't smoke. Chronic cough-
ing, generally associated with
smoking, is also a strong contributor.
Do hernias require a doctor's
care?
through lifestyle changes
If you have pain that is increasing
or severe, an obvious lump, or evi-
dence of bowel blockage or urinary
symptoms, call your primary care
doctor fox" an evaluation. If you no-
tice any signs of lumps or bulges in
your intant or child, make an ap-
pointment with your doctor or pedi-
atrician Ior evaluation. Sudden pain,
nausea, and vomiting are signs of a
strangulated hernia. Go to the near-
est emergency center because this
condition requires immediate sur-
gery.
What is the treatment?
If the hernia is small and you are
not having pain, your doctor will rec-
ommend lifestyle adjustments you
can make. If you are having pain
and/or the hernia is advanced, hernia
repair surgery is recommended:

Van access aisles imporIarll for disabled
To the editor:
For a moment, imagine a quick
trip to the store to pick up a few
items: milk, eggs and bread. You
park your car and hurry inside. Now
that you've gotten everything you
need, you return to your car. When
you reach your car, you see someone
has parked so close to your car that
it is impossible to open the doo.
Now think about someone with a dis-
ability reaching their vehicle to find
the same sight. Only in this case,
someone has parked in the access
aisle adjacent to the van accessible
parking spot. Because someone has
parked in the van access lane this
person cannot lower the lift on their
Lifting ban on
To the editor:
Our nation today has an opportu-
nity to change the world for the bet-
ter, and this change can come from
North Dakota. Thanks to the
Bakken, our state can move the na-
tion toward greater energy security
with the potential to once again
make the U.S. an energy super-
power.
Only one obstacle stands in the
way: the decades-old ban on export
crude oil. However, North Dakota's
congressional delegation in Wash-
ington has led legislation to lift the
ban, and we want to commend Sens.
Hoeven and Heitkamp and Con-
gressman Cramer for their action on
this issue.
This exportban is a relic from
1973 when our energy resources
seemed limited. Thanks to the inge-
nuity and innovation of energy lead-
ers, that is no longer the case. Today,
thanks to new technology developed
right here in North Dakota, our
country has an energy surplus even
as other nations struggle with an en-

DICKINSON - At the end of each

University recognizes those students
named to the Dean's List. Eligible

and must earn at 3.5 GPA or higher.
On the list from this semester
from the area are:

van or they are unable to open the
door wide enough to get their chair
or scooter into the back seat. This
person is forced to go through the
frustrating process of searching for
the owner of the illegally parked ve-
hicle.
Many people don't know they
cannot park in the access aisles.
These aisles, are often only marked
by the diagonal blue lines running
through the spot; however, without
clear signage, people often think it is
another accessible parking spot.
Parking in an accessible dime is ille-
gal. This is also true for someone
who parks in an accessible spot with-
out the correct placard. The fine for
such an infraction is $100.
• Businesses can help prevent this
from happening. A simple sign that
states there is no parking in the ac-
cess aisles is all it takes to deter
many people from parking in those
aisles. One small sign can make the
lives of people with disabilities just
a little bit easier.

ergy deficit. This ban, however, for-
bids our nation from participating in
trade, giving other countries - some-
times our enemies - a monopoly
over energy supply and demand.
This has meant that for far too long,
they have been able to manipulate
prices and politics.
But this doesn't have to be the
case. By lifting the export ban on
crude oil, we can effectively stabilize
the market for crude oil, meaning
lower, more stable prices for con-
sumers at the pumps. All major stud-
ies agree that lifting the ban would
decrease prices between four to
twelve cents at the pump, translating
into billions in energy savings for
Americans over the next several
years.
Lifting the export ban will ensure
North Dakota gets a competitive
world price for our crude oil which
also means the U.S. could further in-
crease domestic oil production. This,
according to studies, would infuse
billions into our economy, bolster
exports will lift North Dakota

state and federal government tax rev-

of jobs nationwide, and reduce our
nation's trade deficit by billions.
Perhaps most important is the role
lifting the ban would play in stabi-
lizing global relations. As Jack Ger-
ard of the American Petroleum
Institute put it, we have "at our fin-
gertips "a once-in-generation oppor-
tunity to show the world how energy
abundance can be used as a positive
force rather than as a tool to harm or
to control nations as some still use
their energy abundance."
It is time for us to embrace that
opportunity and we encourage you
to write Congress and urge them to
support our Congressional delega-
tion in lifting the export ban.
