Blueprint Alaska's Sarah Erkmann Ward provides ups and downs from the past week.

Thumbs up

Oil activity: The North Slope is the busiest it’s been in 20 years.

Tourism: More tourists than ever are set to visit Alaska in 2019. We welcome them and the money they spend.

Local talent: Young Juneau resident stunned to be chosen as the NFL’s Kid Correspondent at the Super Bowl. Good luck, Camdyn.

Thumbs down

Senate Bill 91: Gov. Dunleavy moves to repeal infamous crime bill, replace some components.

Closed schools: Eagle River schools damaged by the earthquake won’t reopen anytime soon.

Seriously, aftershocks: We’ve given them the thumbs down before, but they didn’t get the memo.
