Drew Kirk introduced paddling with a simple directive in mind: Failure was not an option. That meant easing his daughters, Anwhei and Goldie, into kayaks at an intentionally slow place, with an eye to containing any and all variables that could derail the experience. “So even just starting at the lake, we’d be bundled up in three layers with skull caps on,” says Kirk, a Ketchum Idaho resident who had witnessed other parents abandon kayaking as a family sport after a single cold swim spooked their kids....

When you’re cooking with whole grains, says Giovanni Campanile, owner of Pazzi Pasta in Brooklyn, NY, try to avoid anything generically labeled “wheat”—95% of wheat produced today is a modern species known as “common wheat,” which has been genetically altered for increased yield and pest resistance, not flavor and nutrition.
