Here are the top three stories in Cincinnati today:

  1. Cincinnati Police detectives and Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Service investigators are reviewing surveillance video taken inside Small Kids Adventures Learning Center II, a child care facility on Glenway Avenue. The JFS suspended the center's license and ordered its closure by 6 p.m. Tuesday. So far one employee has been arrested for assaulting a 1-year old, but a JFS document indicates that numerous children have been harmed by multiple staff members. (WCPO 9 Cincinnati)
  2. The Cincinnati Men's Conference is happening this Saturday, Apr. 2, at the Fifth Third Arena on the University of Cincinnati Campus. The conference is designed to inspire men to become better husbands and fathers, and is intended for all regardless of their faith or religious practice. Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in the Passion of Christ, is one of the guest speakers. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
  3. The birth of a Sumatran rhino in Indonesia is largely due to research conducted by the Cincinnati Zoo's Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife scientists. These researchers discovered the key to Sumatran rhino reproduction. The calf was born at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary. (WLWT Cincinnati)
