PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Dr. Aaron Brothers, a board-certified Urologist, has joined Urology Professional Services of Berkshire Medical Center (BMC) and is accepting new patients.

Dr. Brothers, a US Army veteran, provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the kidneys, urinary system, bladder, adrenal glands, urethra, and male reproductive organs, and male fertility. He has received extensive training in robotic surgery and looks forward to being able to offer this type of service to patients in the Berkshires.

Dr. Brothers received his medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine in Medford and then moved south, completing his surgical internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and his urology residency at Walter Reed National Military Center.

He then lived in Georgia, where he practiced at Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center and Tifton Regional Medical Center.

Dr. Brothers explains that his approach to patient care is simple:

"I treat all patients with dignity, empathy and respect, and I seek to provide safe and effective urologic care that is individually tailored to the needs of my patients," Brothers said.

Dr. Brothers focuses on "providing quality care and following the golden rule." In his free time, Dr. Brothers enjoys almost any outdoor activity. He skis, camps, and mountain bikes. He and his wife enjoy sailing, and he has been working on his pilot's license.

DALTON, Mass. — For several years, the district has been working with limited space, and a vote at the annual meeting is expected to help ease those constraints.

During the meeting on Tuesday at the Stationary Factory, 48 voters approved 24 of the 25 articles on the warrant, including the purchase of 30-32 Flansburgh Ave., directly next to the current station.

If the property passes the home inspection, the district would purchase the multi-family home from its current owner Richard Olsted for $350,000.

The property is a two-family duplex built in 1920 with more than 6,000 square feet on a fifth of an acre. Its assessed value according to information in the town's database is $305,200. It's estimated on Zillow at $312,500, with a potential high of $350,000.

As part of the agreement for the purchase cost, the district agreed to allow Olsted to reside in one of the building's units for as long as he chooses, with the understanding that he will be responsible for utilities and will not be required to pay rent.

The foreseeable purpose of the other units will be to create proper housing for emergency services personnel.

The department currently has three makeshift bedrooms in the fire station that were described as not well suited for a regular ambulance service.
