Williams College head football coach Mike Whalen has been nominated for the 2006 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award that will be announced in December. The Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award is presented to the coach who best exemplifies responsibility and excellence on and off the field. Selected based on their professional competence and achievement, commitment to the well-being and development of the student-athletes, high ethical standards, and civic and charitable stewardships, the Liberty Mutual coach of the Year will receive $1000,000 to support his civic and charitable activities. In addition, Liberty Mutual will grant $20,000 in scholarship to the alumni association of the winning coach's school. Fans are encouraged to vote for their favorite coach by going to www.coachoftheyear.com . Fans that go online to vote will be entered into a sweepstakes to win a trip for four to the 2007 Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena, CA. Fans can vote once a day, but they will only be entered into the sweepstakes one time. A panel of players and coaches representing the members of the College Football Hall of Fame, national college football media and Liberty Mutual representatives will narrow the field of nominated coaches to 10 finalists by Nov. 8th. The 10 finalists will be profiled on a one-hour ABC special on December 9, 2006 at 2:00 pm. "Liberty Mutual has chosen to honor responsible coaching because it is one of the clearest examples of a positive influence on young people, their families, and entire communities with the smallest actions," said Steve Sullivan, Liberty Mutual's senior vice president, Corporate Communications.

District Meeting, Fire Station Open House on Tap in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A busy week for the town's Fire Department gets underway on Tuesday evening.
 
The annual Fire District elections and district meeting are scheduled for that night in the Williamstown Elementary School gymnasium.
 
The week will wrap up with a dedication and open house at the district's new fire station on Main Street.
 
Polls for the election are scheduled to open at 4 p.m. and will be closed at 7 to allow for returns to be counted prior to the start of the annual meeting at 7:30.
 
There are two positions on the ballot this spring: a three-year term on the Prudential Committee and a three-year term for moderator.
 
Incumbent Moderator Paul Harsch is the only person running for his position. Michael Noyes is the lone candidate for the Prudential Committee seat currently held by longtime member John Notsley.
 
The Prudential Committee, analogous to the Select Board at town hall, manages the fire service and supervises its one full-time employee, the fire chief.
