City cancels summer work program at Hazelwood Y

The city of Pittsburgh said it canceled a summer employment program at the Hazelwood YMCA and reassigned 19 youth workers after the Y failed to provide clearances for program staffers.
One of the staffers, Lutual Love Sr., has a record for drug possession.
In an interview, Mr. Love, long a controversial community activist, also acknowledged pleading guilty in the 1960s to involuntary manslaughter, a charge that he said arose out of a car accident. He also was charged in 1975 with statutory rape, corruption of minors and promoting prostitution — charges that ultimately were dismissed and that he said were unfounded.
City personnel director Judy Hill Finegan said the 19 youths were reassigned to the Student Conservation Association, another of the 15 or so organizations that supervise youths involved in the summer work program.
