Q: I toldmy neighbor Iwasthinking of hiring a fireplacecleaner -- a chimney sweep, Iguess -- this month, and he said I was crazy to schedule one atthis time of year because they’ll charge me an arm and a leg. He saidIshouldwaituntilfallwhenthey’re busier. What do you think? --JaniceC.,Syracuse,N.Y.

A: I think you should go ahead andschedule the fireplace cleaning. Worryingabout the possibility that the cleaning company will charge you more than usual is silly when you can get a written estimate before they start the work, and compare it to otherservicesintown.

Plus, June is a slower season for chimney and fireplace cleaners, compared to fallwhen homeowners are in a hurry to get their fireplaces ready for the cold weather. Thebenefit to you is that you can have greaterchoice of the day and time you want them to come in and service the chimney. Theyalso should be able to spend more time

DON’t WAit UNtiL FALL tO Get ChimNey CLeANeD

checkingyourfireplace,chimneyand flue for potential dangers,rather than rushing off to the next servicecall.Somechimneyand fireplace service techniciansoffer discounts at this time of year. Check their website or call the company to ask about any specials they’re running.

Again, you have control over how muchyou’re willing to pay for chimney cleaning service. Ask for a written estimate up front,before allowing anywork to be performed. Ifthe chimney cleaner detects a problem, ask for a revisedestimate, anddon’t let theadditionalwork done until you have agreed on theworkand the price.

HOME TIP: Help prevent a dangerousbuildup of creosote in your chimney by burning hotter, cleaner fires. Use well-aged hardwoodand crack a window in the room to draw in more oxygen.

Twenty more titles followed. She debutedontelevisionin1963with“TheFrenchChef,”earningthefirst-everEmmyAwardforaneducationalprogram.ThecoverofTimemaga-zinefeaturedherin1966,dubbingher“OurLadyof the Ladle.”

• Scottish-bornGordonRamsayisfamousforhishottemperandcoarselanguageonthetelevisionseries “Hell’s Kitchen.” But his abilities as a chef aretop-notch,withhisLondonrestaurantvotedas that city’s best for eight years straight. He has also authored 21 books.

• Austrian-born chef Wolfgang Puck learned tocook from his pastry chef mother. After immi-grating to America at age 25, he worked as a chef fortwoyearsinIndianapolisbeforemakingthemovetoLosAngeles.Hepublishedhisfirstcookbook at age 33. Puck’s first Spago restaurantopened on the Sunset Strip the following year. He now has 19 restaurants. The Beverly HillsSpago has been on the list of the Top 40 restau-rants in the United States since 2004. Puck cites macaroons as his absolute favorite food. Hadhe not chosen his current profession, he says he wouldhavelikedtohavebeenanartist.

• Rachael Ray didn’t get her cooking educationat a culinary institute; in fact, she herself states, “Ihavenoformalanything.I’mcompletelyun-qualified forany job I’veeverhad.”Perhaps ithelped that her family owned four restaurants. Ray’sfirstjobwasatMacy’scandycounter,andshemoveduptothefreshfoodsdepartment.Her“30-Minute Meal” simple recipes appeal to busy consumerseverywhere.Rayinsistssheisnotagood baker, because it calls for measured ingre-dients, while she prefers approximating amounts, such as “half a palmful.”

• Chef Emeril Lagasse, owner of 12 restaurantsand author of 15 best-selling cook books, spe-cializes inCajun,CreoleandPortuguesecook-ing. He learned bread and pastry baking as a teenager, working in a Portuguese bakery in his Massachusetts home town. Although Emeril was offered a full scholarship at amusic conserva-tory,hechoseaculinaryuniversity,travelingtoParis following graduation to practice his trade.

HOLLYWOOD -- Everyone keeps askingwhyHollywoodstudios insistonremakingfilmsthat were perfect the first time around?The an-swer is ... studios can’t make money on titles they own unless they can pull new projects out of them!
