SCPD seeks federal funding for body cams By victoria eSPinoza

While the Suffolk County Police Department has applied for federal funding to embed body cameras into its force, officials recognized that there is a long way to go in terms of establishing protocol and before officers start donning the devices. In May, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a $20 million Body-Worn Camera Pilot Partnership Program, with $17 million going toward competitive grants to purchase the cameras, $2 million for training and technical assistance, and $1 million for the development of evalu-

ation tools to study the best practices. The pilot is part of President Barack Obama’s (D) proposal to invest $75 million over three years to purchase 50,000 body cameras for law enforcement agencies. The program’s launch follows a series of high profile incidents, including the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Eric Garner in Staten Island and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Md., which raised questions of alleged police brutality. “Body cameras and new technology will not be going away, and if it benefits the ofCaMeRaS continued on page a14

Horseshoe crabs have been on Earth for almost 500 million years, but their future is uncertain. Researchers like matt Sclafani, a marine educator from the Cornell Cooperative Extension in Riverhead, said he believes that the species is in an alarming decline. “it’s a very important issue for a lot of reasons,” Sclafani said during a horseshoe crab monitoring session at west meadow beach in Stony Brook on monday night. Horseshoe crabs are a valuable species to human life, Sclafani said. Their blue blood is used for pharmaceutical purposes. Fishermen use them as one of the most effective sources of bait that exists. Sclafani called Delaware Bay the epicenter for horseshoe crab spawning activity, with Long island coming in as a close second as one of the most important areas to the species on the East Coast, he said. Sclafani and his team of volunteers take to the local shores when the tides are low, usually in the middle of the night, to count and tag horseshoe crabs that come up to the shore to spawn. On monday, Sclafani was joined by Frank Chin, the regular site coordinator for west meadow beach, along with Grace Scalzo, a volunteer, and Karen Papa and her sons — 12-year-old Zachary and 8-year-old Jonah.

“we get a lot of volunteers for this program,” Sclafani said. “That’s the part i think is really great, too. we get people involved in their backyards. There’s not a lot of marine life that you can get involved with and handle this directly — that comes right out onto the beach for you without a net or fishing pole.” in all, the team tagged 55 horseshoe crabs over the course of the night, though that is nothing compared to the night on the South Shore when Sclafani said he and a team of about 35 volunteers tagged about 800 crabs. The process requires measurement, drilling a small hole into the shell, and then applying a round tag that has tracking information on it which is recorded. “i think the entire population up and down the East Coast is in trouble,” Larry Swanson, associate dean of the Stony Brook University School of marine and Atmospheric Sciences, said of the horseshoe crab population in an interview last week. “it’s in trouble for a variety of reasons including people overfishing the population, but also certain birds, including the red knot, are particularly prone to using them as a food source.” Sclafani said the consequences could be dire, if the crabs are not saved. “Their eggs are really important to the ecosystem,” Sclafani said. “A lot of animals feed on them, including migratory shore birds.” Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Ro-

JULY 02, 2015 • THE VILLAGE BEACON RECORD • PAGE A3 maine (R) divulged plans to urge the Department of Environmental Conservation to expand restrictions on harvesting horseshoe crabs in May, to the chagrin of fishermen. Those plans have since been tabled. “I’m just a man, but I’m a vital part of the food chain and I think I’m at the top,” Ron Bellucci Jr. of Sound Beach said in an interview last month. Horseshoe crab harvesting is a vital part of his income, he said. Local fishermen have also questioned the validity of claims about the declining population. The idea that the species may not be declining is not an encouraging sign to Malcolm Bowman, professor of physical oceanography and distinguished service professor at SoMAS, Stony Brook. He is also the president of Stony Brook Environmental Conservancy and the Friends of Flax Pond, two environmental advocacy groups. “We know in nature that things go up and down, and up and down, but you have to look at long-term trends; 10 years, 20 years,” Bowman said in an interview last week. “I’ve worked with fishermen a lot. They have to make a living, I understand that, but it’s important to keep communications between the scientists and say the fishermen with mutual respect, and that way we can learn a lot from them. We scientists are trained to have a long-term view. It’s not just this season, this summer, this breeding sea-

I think that’s so important.” More restricted areas, which Romaine is pushing for, could simply result in overharvesting in areas without restrictions, both Bowman and Sclafani said. There has also been some experimentation with extracting the blue blood while the animal is still alive, then rereleasing

them into the water. This process is called biomedical harvesting. “That’s becoming a more and more controversial topic,” Sclafani said. “The biomedical companies have maintained that it’s a low mortality rate — about 10 percent … they might even be as high as 40 or 50 percent.” He also mentioned that there are

concerns about the horseshoe crabs’ spawning activity after this process is completed. Bowman stopped short of saying that the extinction of the horseshoe crab would have a drastic impact on human life, but it’s not a good sign. “I was reading some very important news that’s coming out about the extinction of species on the planet,” Bowman said. “Species are going extinct at a huge rate. The cumulative effect is going to have a very bad effect on human civilization, far greater than we can imagine. We only see a little piece of it.”

North Shore native puts solar shingles in spotlight By Alex Petroski

The idea of installing solar panels to a roof as a source of electricity for a home is not exactly prehistoric. Reducing the use of electricity or gas to power and heat homes undoubtedly has a positive effect on the environment. Despite being fairly new to the market, solar panels may be supplanted soon by a less expensive, more effective alternative. Solar shingles have been available in the United States for about five years, according to an estimate by Richard Ciota, a Stony Brook resident who owns Division 7 Inc. Ciota’s 21-year-old roofing company is located in Lake Grove. Its residential division is the only one in the Suffolk County, Nassau County and New York City areas permitted to sell Dow Powerhouse solar shingles. Solar panels have been available for decades, Ciota said in an interview at Division 7’s main office. They are at this point more efficient in generating electricity than shingles in terms of kilowatts persquare-foot of roof space, though there are problems associated with panels that contribute to the higher cost Ciota said. “When you’re putting a solar panel onto a roof surface, you’re mounting that solar panel to the rafters through the existing roof,” Ciota said about the older technology, which his company offered prior to the

availability of shingles. “So the waterproof technology has got to be perfect because you could be putting 40, 50, 60 penetrations through a perfectly good roof.” Wind, shade from trees, excessive heat and animals are other factors that Ciota said are enemies to solar panels, which are installed on top of asphalt shingles and leave wiring exposed to the elements. Wind can cause the panels to pull the asphalt shingles away from the roof, which is an annoying and costly problem to have to fix after panels are installed. Solar shingles replace asphalt shingles. They are waterproof and work in the same way that any conventional asphalt shingle would along with the added benefit of a reduced electric bill and a more environmentally friendly home than one that runs on electricity or gas heating. Despite availability and the obvious benefits, solar panels only currently exist on about 5 percent of Long Island homes, according to Ciota. The number of homes with solar shingles is exponentially smaller. John Petroski, Division 7’s director of solar and residential operations, estimated that the company has done about 70 shingle installations on Long Island since 2012 when Dow partnered with Division 7 Inc. Petroski said they have about 35 booked jobs left to complete, as part of Dow’s pilot program, which offered leasing or pur-

chasing options to consumers. “The way [Dow] is moving forward with the technology of the shingles, the improvements they’re making — they’re covering their bases,” Petroski said in reference to the notion that unanticipated issues have arisen as solar panels have gotten older, which could also happen to the shingles. “I personally think the solar shingle will take over the marketplace,” Ciota said about the future as the technology continues to be upgraded. “There are new generations of solar shingles that will be coming

out that will increase its efficiency and eventually they’ll probably tie up and meet [the efficiency of panels].” Other companies sell solar shingles on Long Island, though Dow’s are widely considered to be on the cutting edge. In 2012 Dow received a Breakthrough Award from the magazine Popular Mechanics for pioneering an integrated solar roofing system, according to a press release on Dow’s website. Note: John Petroski, director of solar and residential operations, is this writer’s brother.

Panelists tackle pollution at Suffolk water forum By Talia amorosano

After a month of increased algal blooms, reduced water quality data and two of the most severe fish kills that the county has ever experienced, Long Island scientists, elected officials and agency heads have decided that it is past time — yet about time — to address the issue of harmful nitrogen pollution in our waterways. Hosted by the New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, a forum on water pollution in Suffolk County was held at Stony Brook University’s Charles B. Wang Center on June 23 to identify the core causes of nitrogen pollution and brainstorm functional, cost-effective technological solutions. In his welcome address, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) emphasized the gravity of the nitrogen pollution problem. “This problem wasn’t created overnight, and it won’t be solved overnight,” he said. “Big challenges like this won’t be solved in election cycles.” However, he mentioned that he has noticed signs of progress. “To see this group all coming together, saying we’re going to work to solve this problem, gives me great hope and optimism that we have actually turned the corner and we are now on the road to addressing our water quality issues in a real way.” At the forefront of the technical and technological sides of this progress are panelists Walter Dawydiak, director of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, Amanda Ludlow, a scientist at Roux Associates Inc., Theresa McGovern, a water resources engineer at VHB and Harold Walker, a professor of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University. Dawydiak identified unsewered septic flow as the main source of the nitro-

gen problem. “Nitrogen, which we expected to level off, is not leveling off,” he said. He noted that 85 percent of unsewered septic flow originates from residential areas. “The elephant in the room is us,” he continued. “It’s the residential flow.” He referred to the issue as a “nonpoint source pollution problem,” and said that a change in health department standards for residential wastewater treatment — for the first time in 40 years — could mitigate the problem by regulating the installation, operation, and maintenance of septic systems. He referred to this proposed set of regulations as an example of policy driving the technology to where it needs to be. “We need better technology in this area,” Walker said. “If we’re going to solve this problem, we need to expand the tool box that we have available...we need to think about systems operating effectively for as long as possible, with little or no maintenance. That’s the challenge.” Ludlow said she agreed, and emphasized the importance of implementing systems that treat nitrogen and other pollutants, like pharmaceuticals and hormones, on the 360,000 homes, which are currently on old systems. “Focus on technologies that affect all the constituents in our wastewater,” she said. McGovern stressed that a holistic yet specific approach to wastewater management would make these improvements possible. “We need to be consistent and science-based with the targets, yet still allow some flexibility,” she said. She suggested setting a universal — instead of concentration-based — limit on amount of nitrogen allowed to remain in wastewater, while allowing households that consistently perform under that limit increased wastewater flow.

an expert panel at stony Brook University discusses environmental issues facing long island.

Of course, implementing new technologies and creating new oversight boards costs money. During the second panel discussion regarding funding proposals, David Calone, president of Jove Equity Partners LLC and co-chair of Suffolk Planning Commission, suggested using Hurricane Sandy recovery money to build watersheds to improve storm-water drainage and prevent sewage from entering waterways. Dorian Dale, director of sustainability and chief recovery officer for Suffolk County, noted that, though the $16 million of Sandy relief money would cover some of the cost for improvements, it could not provide the minimum $8 billion necessary to address 360,000 septic systems. He expressed that changing the tax on drinking water from a base price to one that reflects household usage could help close this gap. Calone brought up the possibility of reaching out for federal funding, putting in sewers to promote economic

development, expanding the role of the Community Preservation Fund to cover nitrogen leaching issues, and increasing the cap on private activity bonds to spur work on water quality issues. “Involving the private sector is where we’ve shown a lot of leadership on Long Island,” said Anna Throne-Holst, Southampton Town supervisor. “It has to be a public/private partnership.” The panelists were optimistic about Suffolk County’s ability to undertake this project. “The last sewer project, 40 years ago, was rife with cesspool corruption,” Dale said. “I don’t think anybody’s going to have time for the shenanigans of the past.” Throne-Holst expressed her faith that the public will remain informed and engaged on this issue throughout the duration of the changes. “The public education process is well underway,” she said. “People are well aware of what a crisis this is.”

Police arrested three people they allege were illegally selling fireworks with names like Saturn Missiles, Splendid Flower, Big Bad Bucket, Anaconda and Tornado Alley. According to the Suffolk County Police Department, officers working off an anonymous tip on Saturday afternoon found about 65 boxes of fireworks — both on display with price tags in front of the store and in the back room — at the Card Smart on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station, just south of Route 347. The officers arrested the store’s owner, 46-year-old Hicksville resident Ketan Shah, as well as employees Vijaykumar Patel, a 30-year-old Elmhurst resident, and Nancy Sapienza, 65, of Ridge, charging all of them with unlawfully dealing with fireworks This trash is on fire A garbage pail full of yard debris on Dewey Street in Port Jefferson Station was burned at some point between June 27 and June 28.

CAMERAS Continued from page A1

ficers and citizens of Suffolk County, we are interested,” Deputy Chief Kevin Fallon said in a phone interview. An Economist/YouGov poll published earlier this year stated that 88 percent of Americans support police officers wearing body cameras, and 56 percent strongly favor the idea, while only 8 percent oppose. “This body-worn camera pilot program is a vital part of the Justice Department’s comprehensive efforts to equip law enforcement agencies throughout the country with the tools, support and training to tackle the 21st century challenges we face,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said in a statement. According to a camera implementation guide from the Justice Department, “by pro-

viding a video record of police activity, body-worn cameras have made their operations more transparent to the public, and have helped resolve questions following an encounter between officers and members of the public.” While the program seeks to protect officers and citizens, Fallon said there are issues and concerns. “This is more than simply about body cameras itself,” he said. Suffolk County Chief of Support Services Stuart Cameron said one of the biggest issues is how to store the videos. Not only would archiving be expensive, the volume of high definition videos would be “tremendous.” New protocols would also have to be established to determine how long a video is saved, and in what circumstances the video could be used.

Summer returns

The Mount Sinai Heritage Trust kicked off the summer season with a SummerFest celebration on Saturday, as seen above.

The issue of privacy would need to be tackled before any body cameras go into action, as well. “We don’t know if citizens would be OK with cameras filming in their house,” Fallon said. In addition, police have to figure out how to handle sensitive cases dealing with witnesses and sexual assault victims, as their identities need to be protected. The procedure of when to turn the camera off and on is not set in stone by the Justice Department. Rather, the grant program is intended to help identify the best practice for a body camera’s many uses, including when, and when not, to film. “At what point does it become a privacy issue?” Cameron said. “Does a citizen’s right override protocol to continue filming?” There are more than 2,700 different types of sworn of-

ficers in the SCPD, including plain-clothes officers, detectives and chiefs. The department would need to determine if every type of officer would wear a body camera. Fallon and Cameron said the department would look at pilot programs across the country to see how they are handling the issues, and would also want to hear residents’ thoughts. If a grant is received, community meetings will be held to educate the public. Officers would have to be trained as well. “Giving clear information to the officers is important,” said Fallon. In 2012, a police department in Rialto, California partnered with the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge, in England, and randomly assigned body-worn cameras to various officers across 988 shifts. The study

showed a 60 percent reduction in officer use of force incidents. The study also showed that shifts without cameras experience twice as many use of force incidents as shifts with cameras. There was an 88 percent reduction in citizen complaints between the year prior to camera implementation and the year following deployment. In the county police’s application, the department had to establish an implementation plan and a training policy. Fallon said he was unable to provide additional details. Police forces can expect to hear if they’ve received the grant by Oct. 1, according to the Justice Department. Joan LaRocca, a public affairs specialist for the department, said 50 law enforcement agencies, along with one training and one technical assistance provider, are expected to receive grants.

Going for the gold On June 14, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) attended the Girl Scout Service Unit 54 Gold Award ceremony at the Sound Beach Fire Department. The honorees, Kelly McCauley, Kristy Hange and Olivia Weiss, all from Rocky Point, were presented with certificates of congratulations from the councilwoman. This Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. This prestigious award requires an Ambassador Girl Scout to design and implement a project that serves her community. It must consist of at least 80

hours of service and make a sustainable impact. Each of these outstanding young women has been honored with letters, plaques and awards from local elected officials, legislators and even the White House at a councilsponsored event. In addition, each was presented with a flag that was flown over the Capitol. “I would like to congratulate Kelly, Kristy and Olivia for earning their Gold Award,” Bonner said. “Their determination, hard work and community service illustrates that they are true examples of what it means to be a Girl Scout.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

A novel idea

What if we told you that you could travel to Paris this summer? What if you could finally achieve your dream of becoming an astronaut? What if you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 1890s or 1960s? Well, you can. Just pick up a book. Some of our school districts already require students to read one or multiple books over the summer. We commend those districts and think others should follow suit and implement their own summer reading programs in the future. Summer learning loss, or the summer slide, is real — but we can prevent it. This is more important than ever before as students are being held to a higher standard. We’ve heard the argument from

parents that summer break should be just that — a break — and mandating a child to read a book defeats that purpose. We disagree. Instilling the value of reading into our lives and those of our children is important. Reading stirs the imagination, helps you think critically and makes you a lifelong learner. While reading may be difficult for some kids and others may just not like it, there is a book for everybody — or at least an educational magazine — and there are so many places to find them. Visit your local library to find summer reading programs for kids and adults. Go online and download an eBook. At the bare minimum, try out Audible and listen to an audiobook. We urge everyone to turn off the

video games, get off the computer and escape for a few minutes in the pages of a book. Relax — you will be OK and you may even find it fun. In the time-honored tradition of required reading, we end with a

quote from Betty Smith’s 1943 classic, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” “The world was hers for the reading.” May the world be yours this summer.

One solution to a larger issue TO THE EDITOR: We Americans like quick fixes — especially to national problems. I abhor the terrorist act perpetrated at the South Carolina church and believe that the Confederate flag should not fly over government buildings. The only flag that should fly over any government building is the U.S. flag. But banning the sale of the Confederate flag as one solution to the issue is too easy. It makes us feel that we are doing the moral thing when it really does nothing to affect the changes needed to cure the hatred that prompts such terrorist acts. The only thing that will do that

is to change what is in the hearts of some Americans. We need to remember what Abraham Lincoln said in his first inaugural address: “We are not enemies, but friends. ... Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory ... will yet swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Ernestine Franco Sound Beach Editor’s note: The writer is a proofreader at Times Beacon Record Newspapers.

Be safe, wear a helmet TO THE EDITOR: I’m a little late sending you my little reminder about expanding the helmet laws for bicycle, skateboards, Rollerblades, etc. I really believe that anybody that rides on anything with two wheels should be mandated by their insurance company, the state and any other powers that be, to wear a helmet. I’d like to see a helmet company that makes a helmet with Spock ears and a propeller, but I am just happy when I see helmets being

used. I pulled a guy over on Cedar Street in Stony Brook when the baby that he had on the back of the bicycle had a helmet and he didn’t, and I reminded him that the success rate with brain injuries is very poor. I looked like a nut job, but I can’t stress enough that helmet laws are not strict enough — they’re now for kids under 14 but they should be for everybody. Thank you.

The unsolicited wisdom of parenting advice

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ohn had the miles-away stare, while Alissa poured a wall of words to the next table’s occupants. He had probably heard it all before. While he couldn’t hit mute or change the station with some magic spouse remote control, he didn’t have to listen closely. She wasn’t talking to him anyway. She was directing her

word waterfall at Linda, the fivemonths pregnant woman eating at the next table. She suggested parenting websites and shared advice on where to find the best strollers at the lowest price. She even suggested the name of a villa in Italy they “had to visit” before they became parents because it was the perfect final trip for a family of two. Linda’s husband, Victor, slowly ate his mahimahi, nodding the few times Alissa looked at him. This was a woman-towoman conversation. My son and I observed these couples we didn’t know from a bench outside a restaurant as we waited for our table. What is it about expectant parents and newborn babies that turns so many people into authority figures on that unlicensed job known as parenting, dispensing free advice about what to expect, how to handle everything, what to buy and what lists to make?

When my wife was pregnant with our daughter and she walked around Manhattan, people used to go out of their way to find out if she was having a boy or a girl: “Oh, honey, you’re carrying more in your back, so it must be a girl.” Then these strangers would share their thoughts on the best place to buy clothing, the ideal kindergarten in the area and the things she should do to prepare for the baby’s arrival. The positive side of all this unsolicited wisdom is that it shows that people have a sense of community: They want to help and they see a newborn and a new parent as people in need. Birds do it, too. I’ve heard that birds flying through a forest, minding their own business, will sometimes feed a hungry bird demanding food in a nest. There is a magic that surrounds a new life. This small person inside the bigger person could become anything: a

president, a senator, a doctor, an astronaut, a teacher. While this is all true, it’s also a time when adults make that abrupt transition from one world to another, when everything comes within the context of your role as a parent. The downside of some of that advice is that it can be worth what we pay for it. “Buy only pink clothes for your daughter, because she’ll wind up liking pink anyway.” “Feed your son from the floor so he gets sick now and develops a stronger immune system.” Once a baby is born, there are parents who absolutely know better and seem to see you as younger, nervous, anxious, inexperienced version of themselves. You are the comedy to their reality, the ridiculous to their rational and the neurotic to their well-balanced lifestyles. “She’ll be fine going outside in 40 degrees in a T-shirt. Trust me, nothing bad will happen.”

There is a magic that surrounds a new life.

As parents, we have every right to worry about whatever is important to us, to take whatever advice works for us and discard the rest. There’s a kicker to the story about the couples at the restaurant. While sharing advice about parenting, Alissa sat next to her 2-year old daughter for close to half an hour. Not once did she speak to, or look at, her own little girl, who disappeared into a video game during the meal. Parents giving parental advice are not always perfect themselves.

Having fun and celebrating culture

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

he first half of 2015 ended locally with a fun and singular lineup of cultural events. Stellar activities this past weekend began with a distinguished gala under a tent at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook. In a tribute to the Great Gatsby-era, the elegantly dressed guests at the fundraiser celebrated with a look back at the Roaring ‘20s and F. Scott Fitzgerald, even as they basked in the prominence of the Long Island Museum, with its director, Neil Wat-

son, looking forward to cultural and historic successes to come. Dancing and dining combined with renewed friendships and endless conversation made for a lovely evening. Fast forward to Sunday afternoon and an ArTalk, sponsored by Gallery North of Setauket, on famed local artist Christian White. In two parts, the event started at the Gallery with a viewing of some of White’s latest works, entitled “Christian White: Fifty Years of Art.” White, who is 65, began showing his art at Gallery North, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, at a young age. That is not surprising. The great-grandson of Stanford White, the renowned New York City architect who designed Washington Square Arch in lower Manhattan, among many other landmarks; the grandson of Lawrence White, also a prominent architect; and the son of noted sculptor and St. James resident Robert White; he carries an abundant supply of artistic genes, both on his pa-

ternal and maternal sides. His maternal grandfather was the famed Dutch artist Joep Nicolas, with whom White studied welding, stained glass and mosaics as a youngster in Holland. His mother, Claire Nicolas White is a popular and prolific author. And the creative genes continue in his children. Then the event moved over to the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics on the Stony Brook University campus, where the Iconic Wall was viewed and explained by its creator, Christian White. The brainchild of Nina Douglas, helped by Anthony Phillips, the limestone wall features ancient and modern equations in math and physics spread over an area of 465 square feet. It is a gravity-defying marriage of art and science in the sparkling Simons building, which encourages innovation and collaboration as its mission. In the Center, there followed a talk by Franklin Perrell, the former senior curator at the excellent Nassau County Museum of Art, about the art

have given boundless energy and creativity to village government, making a formidable political dynasty in the process. The event was, in part, a fundraiser for the restoration of the Rocket Ship Park in lower Port, but in its entirety, a show of appreciation for the work of these two talented and committed women. Their lives were profiled and serenaded throughout the two hours of packed theater. It was as if the village were offering the Garants a valentine in June.

Steven Matz makes hit-storic MLB debut

Photos by Clayton Collier

Clockwise from above, steven Matz smacks a double past outfielder Billy Hamilton in his first MLB at-bat; Matz hurls a pitch from the mound; and Matz winds up.

Hometown kid makes noise in first start with New York Mets By Desirée Keegan

Steven Matz was a hit in more ways than one. Before even throwing his first warm-up pitch — just half an hour into the fan shop being opened at Citi Field — every piece of memorabilia with the 24-year-old southpaw’s name on it was sold out. “He came out of the bullpen and got a standing ovation — who gets that?” Matz’s Ward Melville High School head coach Lou Petrucci said. “New York has 100 guys that have gotten the hype, and how great is it that Steven Matz lived up to it? And he didn’t just live up to it, he exceeded it — and that’s what’s so great about this.” But it may not have seemed that way from the start. The first pitch Matz threw, a 96-mph fastball to the Cincinnati Reds’ Brandon Phillips, was wild, as it nicked catcher Johnny Monell’s glove and traveled to the warning track behind the plate. In that same at-bat, Phillips hit a game-opening home run, and all Long Island fans could do was hold their breath and hope the local star, who had only made his Triple-A debut just one year ago, could turn things around. And he did. Matz had finished his season 7-4 with a 2.19 ERA and 94 strikeouts over 90.1 innings for Triple-A Las Vegas, and he wasn’t going to sweat the small stuff. After shaking off the opening at-bat jitters, the side was retired, and it was smooth sailing the rest

of the way. The left-handed pitcher limited Cincinnati to two runs in the Mets 7-2 victory. The Reds’ second was another solo home run, this time off the bat of Todd Frazier. But Matz struck out both Phillips and Frazier in their next at-bats, and ended his 7.2 innings with a 2.35 ERA on five hits while striking out six and walking three. What may have been even more impressive though, was his historic debut at the plate. Everyone knew Matz could hit — he finished AAA with a .304 batting average, but no one could predict he would go 3-for-3. Just six innings in, the 999th player in Mets history found his way into the team record book by being the first player at any position on the team to have four RBIs in his MLB debut. “It’s like a movie script,” Matz’s father, Ron of Stony Brook, said. “Aside from the home run in the first inning, where everyone was a little nervous, it was amazing the way he could shake it off and continue doing what he does. He’s always been a good hitter, but I never realized that at the major league level he’d be the star. He was a one-man show.” Steven Matz has always had his own piece of fame since senior year of high school. In the Three Village community, he had a sandwich named after him at the Se-Port Deli in East Setauket after being drafted by the Mets in 2009. But now, everyone across the Island has

heard the 24-year-old’s name after he was called up to The Show last Thursday, making his official debut Sunday afternoon. “I first got the phone call from Steve and he just said ‘Dad, I’m going to the big leagues,’” Ron Matz said. “I got pretty emotional. To see what he’s been through over the years, with the Tommy John surgery and all of that stuff and him battling back and doing what he did to finally get to the point where he is, it was a pretty proud moment.” The father recalls his son’s younger years in the sport, and cannot believe how far he’s come to get to where he is today, although admitting he thinks it’s strange to see his name on everyone else’s back.

“Steve used to always come out with one of his older brother Jonathan’s uniforms on that would hang down past his feet,” Ron Matz said. “He was out there playing with the 5-year-olds when he was 2, and I always knew he had something special, and now everyone was rushing to the store once we heard there was a Matz jersey available. The line was out the door with people buying these things. His memorabilia was sold out within the first half hour.” And everyone knew he had what it took to play in the big leagues. “I’ve been coaching Steven since he was 9 years old, and when he was about 10, I told his father ‘Your son’s going to pitch in the big leagues one day,’” former MLB left-handed pitcher Neal Heaton said. “He thought I was full of it.” But Petrucci saw it, too. “He’s a complete baseball player, a complete athlete, terrific listener and he is extremely focused, and that’s what makes it so easy for him,” he said. “This kid is a product of all of the people who have touched him throughout the Three Village community: coaches, players, family members. How do you not root for this kid?” Matz joined a young Mets rotation with the likes of Matt Harvey, Jacob DeGrom, Noah Syndergaard and the injured Zack Wheeler, which Mets manager Terry Collins said is a staff to be reckoned with. “I think it sends a message to our fan base that the future is now,” he

said in a press conference following Sunday’s game. “We’ve been talking about down the road, next year, next year; the future is now. They’re here, they’re going to pitch, and it’s going to be exciting to see them grow from start to start.” Matz was also the first Mets pitcher with at least three hits and four RBIs since Dwight “Doc” Gooden in 1985, and Doc thought the way the southpaw handled himself on the mound after the opening pitch said a lot about his character. “Giving up a home run to that first guy, it probably didn’t bother him as much as it would some other guys because of what he’s been through to get to that point,” he said. “That can go a long way in showing his character and mound presence when it comes to pitching against tough teams and big games come September.” Matz’s former high school coach said he sees the pitcher going far. “Every level Steve has gone up he’s only continued to get better because he’s more determined than ever and he’s dedicated to being the best pitcher that he can be,” Petrucci said. “Is he going to go 3-for-3? I don’t think so. But is he going to get his share of base hits? You bet he is. Will he win some games? Oh, you bet he is. The bigger the stakes for Steven Matz the higher he rises up to the occasion. This is more than just the beginning. This is the start of something special.” Clayton Collier contributed reporting.
