Remove a word from a character vector value XXXX

Dan Abner 
Hi everyone,

What is the easiest way to remove the word Average and strip leading
and trailing blanks from the character vector (d5.Region) below?

.nrow.d5.           d5.Region
1            1     Central Average
2            2     Coastal Average
3            3        East Average
4            4  Metro East Average
5            5 Metro North Average
6            6 Metro South Average
7            7  Metro West Average
8            8   Northeast Average
9            9   Northwest Average


Thanks!

Dan
