[MCN] Update on Polar Bear Trips

[Shannon Donahue]

The Great Bear Foundation is updating the logistics on our summer and fall
arctic ecology field courses in Churchill, Manitoba, due to catastrophic
flooding that wiped out the railroad.  Participants will now need to fly
to Churchill.  We've adjusted the dates and price of the trips to reflect
these changes, and participants will be responsible for their own travel
(we can help with logistics).
