📰 News we're reading
1. 'Mare Of Easttown' Second Season Teased By Star (patch.com) — Fans in and around Media could see more Hollywood-style filming if a second season of HBO’s hit crime drama "Mare of Easttown" moves forward, as star Kate Winslet says talks are getting serious. Recent productions like "Task" have already used the Delaware County Courthouse in Media and other local sites, bringing jobs and significant economic benefits to the region. 
2. Media Plans 'Ice On State' With Sculptures, Live Music (wmmr.com) — Downtown Media is turning State Street into a winter wonderland with the Ice On State festival on Jan. 25–26, featuring dozens of sculptures, live carving, and family-friendly ice games. A DJ will spin from a full-size ice booth, and visitors can use a downloadable map from Visit Media to find sculptures, activities, and photo-op spots throughout the State Street District.
3. Man charged after over 100 human remains found in his Pennsylvania home (fox35orlando.com) — Media residents are learning more about a major grave-robbing investigation being led by the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office after over 100 sets of human remains were reportedly recovered from locations tied to a Pennsylvania man. Authorities say the probe began with surveillance at Mount Moriah Cemetery and now involves identifying the remains and notifying affected families, with the suspect held on high bail at George W. Hill Correctional Facility.
4. Probe continues on Brookhaven house fire (delcotimes.com) — Media firefighters were among several Delaware County companies who helped battle a serious house fire on Mount Vernon Avenue in Brookhaven Thursday night, where heavy hoarding conditions forced crews to fight largely from outside. No injuries were reported, but the unoccupied Cape Cod-style home suffered major damage as responders opened the roof and multiple lines to bring the blaze under control. Investigators from local and state agencies continue probing the cause.
5. Labor Department awards $13.8 million for maritime workforce training (workboat.com) — A major federal grant is headed to Delaware County Community College, originally founded in Media, to expand hands-on shipbuilding and maritime training programs. Nearly $14 million split between DCCC and Massachusetts Maritime Academy will fund new curriculum and apprenticeships tied to U.S. and allied efforts in Arctic and polar security, potentially opening future career paths for local students interested in maritime trades.
