	Jamaica Gleaner - Marshalling scarce resources - Saturday \| May 8, 2004
		Here are some benefits: Unlike parishes, Jamaica's counties offer a wider/more diverse range of geography-based resources on which to promote resilient industrial development towards widening the respective fiscal spatial economy/tax base (e.g., each county has relatively healthy developed mix of tourism, agriculture, mining, manufacturing and commerce).
		The increased spatial-based potential for revenues via counties (as opposed to the smaller/weaker parishes) would serve to "spread" and thus help reduce the per capita rate of autonomous local government taxation on the island's already tax-burdened masses.
		Counties would achieve this goal in part by serving their respective parishes as administrative co-ordinators and facilitators and selectively, service delivery lead agents (especially for the timely delivery of such more expensive and complex grassroots services as community road repair).

	EID V3 N1: Risk Factors for Severe Leptospirosis in the Parish of St. Andrew, Barbados
		The disease was first reported in Barbados 60 years ago (2), and since 1979 has been the subject of continual study as the result of the establishment of the Leptospira Laboratory by the governments of Barbados and the United Kingdom.
		A positive association was observed between illness and wearing boots in the garden or yard (OR 8.5, 95% CL 1.93-42.55), but this may be because case patients had changed their behavior since recovery, because they were working in wetter areas than the controls, or because the male/female ratio was lower among controls.
		No clustering of cases in time was observed, which confirms that leptospirosis in Barbados is endemic and that increases in incidence result from multiple sporadic cases rather than microepidemics (5).Cases were clustered geographically, but this may have been an artifact resulting from variation in population density.
