Here are the top five stories in Dallas-Hiram today:

1. As of Monday, Paulding County's gas prices averaged $4.22 per gallon — the lowest county average in Georgia, despite statewide climbs over the last week. Gas prices across the state have risen by 16 cents from last week and 47 cents from last month to a current average of $4.27 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Thanks to Governor Kemp's extension of the gas tax suspension through Jul. 14, Georgia drivers are saving 29 cents per gallon of gas for now. (Patch)
2. Looking for an adaptive summer sports program that caters to differently-abled youth and adults? The Paulding County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Affairs Department is proud to share Trailblazers, an inclusive sports program that allows all ability levels to participate in a season of baseball or soccer. Registration runs though August for the leagues' seasons in September. Learn more in the County's Summer/Fall 2022 Program Guide here and in a video posted by the County on Facebook.
