News Center 7 talked to business owners outside and inside the perimeter who chose to close because of the challenges it created. Due to that, News Center 7's John Bedell asked Congressman Mike Turner, one of the organizers of the event, what he has to say to Daytonians who had their lives or their businesses interrupted by security measures put in place for the event. 'Luckily for us, because it happens during Memorial [Day] weekend, we're able to have this in a way that's not disruptive to the community,' Turner said in response. As shown on News Center 7 at 5:00, our team went into the community on Monday to ask similar questions about the impacts caused by the security measures. 'Probably, we're down about 25 percent over last year's Memorial Day weekend,' Kelly Byrd, general manager of the Spaghetti Warehouse in downtown Dayton, said. Byrd said the NATO event was great for Dayton, but also noted he lost business this weekend. 'How have the closures and the security measures impacted you all this week in business?' Bedell asked. 'It impacted us kind of negatively, honestly,' Byrd responded. 'We were hoping for a positive effect, but I think it scared a lot of people away from downtown. They didn't want to deal with the closures and traffic patterns that were different.' Byrd also told News Center 7 that he's hoping to get back to some normalcy now that the event is over.

'All those measures are designed to keep people safe, that's a major issue for us,' Dayton Mayor Jeffrey Mims said during the NATO kick-off presser. The number of roads closed down for safety is making it a challenge for anyone who works or lives downtown.

This is the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in the Balkans.

NATO assembly kicks off with opening remarks, panels
The NATO Parliamentary Assembly is underway, putting Dayton in the global spotlight. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] About 300 people from 32 NATO countries are in town for the session. This means tight security. 'All those measures are designed to keep people safe, that's a major issue for us,' Dayton Mayor Jeffrey Mims said during the NATO kick-off presser. Mims supported Congressman Mike Turner's efforts to bring the NATO meetings here. One of the reasons is that this is the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords that ended the war in the Balkans. The delegates will work for similar peace now. 'How do we end war and take that and look at Ukraine and other areas of conflict, and what our areas of responsibilities are, and what the United States can do,' Turner said.

It's one of the reasons gatherings like this require huge security. Fences, barricades, ground law enforcement of the ground, and law enforcement. 'I do think that everything needs to be cordoned off. Delegate safety is the most important thing,' Jesse Ralston said. The number of roads closed down for safety is making it a challenge for anyone who works or lives downtown. 'It might be a little bit of inconveniences to Daytonians, but it's temporary. This is an awesome thing that's happening here,' Ralston said. The NATO delegates will not just stay inside the downtown NATO village; they will get a taste of Dayton and its attractions. They are also already beginning their discussion panels. The biggest discussion is the Ukrainian-Russian war. 'The Russians pose an imminent risk to NATO security,' Raimond Kaljulaid, Estonian Delegation Head, said. Several other panelists agreed. 'If we lose in Ukraine, it will have the same historic consequences as if we had lost and been in during the Cold War,' Fred Kempe, president and CEO of the Atlantic Council, said. A woman near the security zone told News Center 7 she has family in Russia and Ukraine. She hopes that Dayton can again play a huge role in making our world safer. 'It's like a small city, but it's very kind of prominent because aviation was born here, and this, I think, they make good choices,' Natalia Todd said. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
