West Carrollton sports bar subject of 95 complaints 

Dan Stiver's Zippers Sports Bar has been the subject of 95 complaints, seven investigations and $4,100 in fines for violations of Ohio's indoor smoking ban.

"That's probably true," Stiver said. "I don't have a clue."

The 60-year-old nonsmoker said he posted no-smoking signs and removed the ashtrays from his nightclub, as required under the law, but he said he doesn't do anything else to enforce the ban.

"The first week I tried to enforce it, I lost $1,200," Stiver said. "I'm not a policeman. I'm not with the board of health. I am in business to make money."
