It's been something of a family tradition, but Thiede says he won't be handing "Willy the Dog" to me.
Frozen whale to stop traveling
Open Mon.-Fri. 8-8
DODGE CITY — Traveling showman John W. Thiede has been hauling a frozen, 16-ton baby sperm whale across the country for 17 years.

Owner says tour has boosted support for ban on whaling
Thiede, 31, has been hauling Willey to county fairs and shopping center parking lots in a refrigerated truck. He got the whale from his retired dog, who had bought it from a fellow showman in 1974.

Thiede hit the road at 8 years old and played hooky from school often to join his at shop opening center promotions, who flocks of people with a high degree of enthusiasm to 3,000-pound crossed Angus-Holstein steer.
Thiede, a Burlington, Colo., native, says his days on the road are nearing an end.
"I've been living out of a suitcase my whole life," said Thiëde, sitting in his road-home — an air-conditioned semitrailer that includes a stall and a rear-rack black stallion billed as "The World's Smallest Horse."
More than 3,000 people a day paid to see the frozen whale at its debut in Lancaster, Pa., Thiede said.
"I cherish the memories, but I don't really want my son to go through it," he said.
He sometimes works 361 days a year, traveling 17 states, he said, and it's almost impossible for him to get home holidays with his family.
"They were educating people about whales," he said.
Thiede says he believes Willy's early touring days helped raise public awareness about the need for the 1973 ban on whaling.
Today, it costs 75 cents to look at Willy or
Gorman for about 200 customers a day is a goo-
se way.
Willy, a mass of reddish-brown hide, is about feet long and resides behind a viewing glass as facts about his breed tumble through a loud speaker.
Thiede said he received few complaints about displaying the dead whale. And there are only occasional challenges to the "smallest horse" claim.
Theide used to show a trailer of pythons and boa constrictors, but his 2-year-old son accidentally turned up the heat in their enclosure and they died.
“It’s kind of a gray area,” Thiede said. “I’ve never seen a smaller one ... (except for) one about 14 inches tall, but it was so deformed I felt sorry looking at him.” Gorinoism is 34/4 inches
Thiede says traveling showmen like him are a vanishing breed.
"We feel like the last of the Mohicans out here," he said.
Thiede plans to retire the road show when his son starts school. But he wants to set up a museum at a truck stop that he and relatives are building near Hays.
It will have Willy, Geronimo and a semitrailer filled with 4 million Lincoln-head pennies as a tribute to the 16th president.
Ending treatment for heart disease risky, study finds

The study's authors and other doctors cannot explain the findings, published in today's issue of the weekly Journal of the American Medical Association. But they warn people who are receiving such treatment not to
CHICAGO - More men who were treated to control their risk of heart disease died after the program stopped than did men who never were treated, according to a Finnish study that surprised researchers and
The study of 1,222 men found that the heart condition of men who dieted and exercised improved while those
Finnish researchers studied 1,222 healthy volunteers, all of them male business executives between the ages of 40 and 55 when the study began in the mid-1970s.
"If there's a message here, it's 'Don't stop,' not Don't start," said Stuart Rich, chief of cardiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
But after treatment stopped, the men were more at risk than those they also were more at-risk than men.
The volunteers each had at least one of the risk factors for heart disease, which included heredity, smoking, drinking, eating high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, being overweight, and not exercising enough.
The study indicated that the results may be limited to the population of men who participated in the study.
