I, Jackson Y. Dott, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Monarch Services,
    Inc.;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects
the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small
business issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.  The small business issuer's other certifying officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the small business issuer
and have:

    a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
        disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
        supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
        small business issuer, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
        made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
        during the period in which this report is being prepared;

    b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's disclosure
        controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
        about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
        of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
        evaluation; and

    c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer's
        internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
        registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
        or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
        issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.  The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based
on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee of the
small business issuer's board of directors, (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):

    a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
        or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
        reasonably likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's
        ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
        and

    b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
        other employees who have a significant role in the small business
        issuer's internal control over financial reporting.
