   Service, Inc.

2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly 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 quarterly report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
   information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
   material respects the financial condition, results of operations and

   this quarterly report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
   establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
   defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
   we have;

a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
   material information relating to the registrant, including its
   consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
   those entities, particularly during the period in which this
   quarterly report is being prepared;

b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls

   performing the equivalent functions);

a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
   controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
   record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
   identified for the registrant's auditors any material weakness in
   internal controls; and

b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
   other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
   internal controls; and


6. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
