Miller Theater holds private screening of movie filmed in Augusta: ‘The Hill’
“It has that southern charm to it, and that nostalgia that we all remember from the 60’s and 70’s – Texas is the same. I just had a guy look at the movie last night, watch the movie, he said to me, I grew up in Texas and lived in Augusta and there’s no difference.” said Celentano.

Augusta University hosts Christmas party to support adoptive grandparents during the holidays
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – This afternoon, Augusta University hosted its Healthy Grandparents Program at the Julian Smith Casino, this time with a Christmas party.
This year’s Healthy Grandparents event focused on helping them around the holidays.
The 26th annual Christmas party supports grandparents and great-grandparents who are raising their grandchildren in homes without their parents.

We caught up with the coordinator on why this event is so important.
“It’s important because these grandparents are stepping into some very tough situations,” says Mike Patton, program coordinator for the Healthy Grandparents Program. “Where the parents of the children are either unable or unwilling to take care of them for a variety of reasons. Without these grandparents stepping in, a lot of these kids would probably end up in foster care. So, these grandparents kind of put their lives on hold. Make untold sacrifices for their grandchildren. And provide them with the stability and permanency that they need.”
He says it all comes down to helping support these grandparents in achieving stability for the children.
