On Friday, June 15, Shelly hosted a small ceremony to recognize the tunnel and show appreciation for everyone’s efforts. There were around 30 people in attendance including local county officials and community members. In addition there was representation from Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Ohio Aggregates and Industrial Minerals Association.

“Our team at The Shelly Company is committed to providing superior quality aggregate while maintaining community partnership,” said Shelly Aggregates Operations Manager, Mike Matoszkia. “This tunnel project is one more example of that commitment.”

The Shelly Company has been a longtime member of the Ostrander community and continues to support the community. It hosts several school visits at its quarry and community events at its wildlife habitat site. More information can be found  under our community section on

The construction paving industry is no different. There are several moving parts and a strong focus is a daily requirement. But among all of the excitement and energy, there is still a human aspect that we all wish to maintain and uphold.

That’s why when we received a letter from a local business owner, we knew we had to share it. It’s a reminder of the impact we have on each another.

We are grateful of the feedback and proud of our team members.

The hands-on interactive program exposes students to the real-life elements of working in a quarry and producing aggregates through presentation, activities and fun-learning videos. Students tried on safety vests, hard hats and safety glasses, sang along to catchy aggregates’ melodies and finished with cookie mining. The program is also geared towards earth and science curriculum discussing types of rocks and the rock cycle.

On the following day, the 71 students and teachers visited Shelly’s Ostrander quarry and wildlife habitat site. There they saw firsthand what they had learned about the day before. Shelly hopes the two-day experience sheds a new light for the students about the aggregates industry and encourages more engagement and opportunities down the road.

My grandfather said always surround yourself with people who make you want to be a better person. I tell my boys this same advice.

My dad told me keep your head up no matter what. Self-pity is a weakness and you are stronger than that. I share this with my daughters too.
