Voting to Start Anew -- Villagers from Afognak, one of several Kodiak fishing communities wiped out by tidal waves that followed the terrible March 27 Alaska earthquake, vote to rebuild at a nearby place called Settler Cove -- away from the threat of tides and seismic waves.

But with aid from public and private agencies, they're getting ready to ga back and start all over again.
