ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract Seasoned archaeologist Jeffrey R. Chadwick responds to studies done by Warren Aston (see page 8), Richard Wellington and George Potter (see page 26), and Kent Brown (see page 44) pertaining to the trail that the Book of Mormon prophet Lehi took after fleeing Jerusalem. Chadwick uses his archaeological, histori- cal, and scriptural knowledge to comment on the claims made by the other scholars. He specifically ana- lyzes Lehi’s life in Jerusalem, the route Lehi took from Jerusalem to the Red Sea, the Valley of Lemuel, the route from Shazer to Nahom, the route from Nahom to Bountiful, and the building of the ship at Bountiful.

FGM#1 – Notes from Meeting with DSB Residents and Farmers
FGM#1 – notes from meeting with DSB residents and farmers September 22nd, 2004. Tamar Regional council Participants: Yael Maor – Director, Dead Sea R&D Dudi Kadosh – Tamar Regional Council Arye Shahal – Ein Gedi, Kibbutz representative from the mineral water factory Asher Lozun – Neot Hakikar Udi Isik – Megilot Regional Council, Education department Menashke – Kibbutz Almog, Director (Business manager) Avi Froind Engineer, Drainage Authority David Lehrer – AIES Vered Balan – AIES Abstract The meeting took place at Tamar regional council. Attendees were representatives of local settlements, representing private farms, (Neot Hakikar) kibbutzim and non-farmers. David Lehrer began by presenting the objectives of the research and of the meetings. All participants agreed that there is a shortage of water in the area, both in terms of quantity as well as quality. The participants also agreed that this shortage is an obstacle for further development. It was claimed that there is a potential for more water but production is held back either due to high costs, low allocation or political reasons. Concerning the decline in the level of the Dead Sea, it is clear that the solution is on the national scale and not the municipal level. The participants related to the damage to the infrastructures due to the sinkholes and the retreat in the water line. According to some of the speakers, there is damage to agriculture that is caused by not farming all the land (for fear of sinkholes), as well as damage to tourism industry that is both physical as well as physiological. It was agreed that there is a need to reach a balance between the chemical industry in the Dead Sea and the threats that industry presents to the rest of the area.
