First, today's weather:

The high will be 82 today with a low of 70; there is a 70 percent chance of rain.

Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. Alpharetta officials have empaneled a Board of Ethics to hear a complaint filed against the vice chairman of Alpharetta’s Arts Commission. Jennifer Sutton, a Georgia-based artist, filed a complaint that Andrews used “his title and power of position as Commissioner” to intimidate, threaten and leverage transactions from Sutton, during a conflict over artwork at a show Sutton was facilitating in New York City. Andrews is denying the allegations and said the situation had nothing to do with the City of Alpharetta or his involvement with the Alpharetta Arts Commission. (Appen)
2. Crabapple Fest in Milton is coming soon! The annual arts and antiques festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Crabapple Road in downtown Milton. There will be food trucks offering everything from barbeque to Vietnamese street food to tacos to ice cream (for kids and adults). (City of Milton)
3. Are you planning to go boating at one of the lakes near Alpharetta and Milton during Labor Day weekend? Here are some tips for remaining safe. It's important to have a sober boat operator. In addition, make sure you have all the safety equipment needed and lights are working if you're planning to go at night. (WTVM)
