Man in serious condition after collapse at Thresheree
FULTON TOWNSHIP — Three area residents performed CPR on a Kenosha man who collapsed after the Rock River Thresheree on Monday night.
Paul Anderson, 57, Milton; Miles Jackson, 50, Janesville, and Lynnette Millard, 47, Janesville, performed CPR on Dave Jucius, 55, until sheriff's deputies arrived.
Jucius was in serious condition Tuesday at University Hospital, Madison.
Sheriff's deputies, an officer from the Town of Fulton Police Department and rescue personnel from the Edgerton Fire Department were dispatched to Thresherman's Park, 51 E. Cox Road, at 6:54 p.m. for a report of a man down, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Jucius was a vendor at the annual Thresheree. He was packing his belongings before he was found lying on the ground unresponsive and blue. He had no pulse and was not breathing, according to the press release.
When deputies arrived, they and the Fulton officer took over chest compressions and set up an automatic external defibrillator. After two shocks from the machine, Jucius was turned over to EMS personnel and transported to Edgerton Hospital, where he reportedly was conscious and alert, according to the press release.
Jucius later was transferred to University Hospital, Madison.

Dave Jucius and his family are eternally grateful and send our thanks for the caring and quick actions of the first responders and the deputies. Dave would not be alive today except for their willingness and ability to help. Thank you.
To the media, I consider it a breach of our privacy to publish and broadcast Dave’s name, medical condition and treatment destination without his permission. I checked, and HIPAA privacy laws don’t extend to this situation. That’s unfortunate.

All three of you did a great job! Well Done! Just wondering about the new CCR method - is it now recommended instead of CPR? Obviously these three did an awesome job. Just wondering which one is now recommended for use. I would like to see a Gazette medical story about CCR.

Everyone should learn CPR! I was taught when I was 17, I became certified this year. It's a very good thing to know, granted I work in a hospital and I need to know. But I think about it all the time when I'm out & about. I'm more concious of who has the AED's also. I've even showed my husband the 'basics' since I'm the one with the heart problem, so he can at least keep my heart going until paramedics arrive.
These people are heros! If they wouldn't have started CPR this man may not be here today! It's nice to know that people in the community care for one another.
