WHY WYNDAM, MAINE?

As I read the Viewpoints page to get my daily ration of laughs and
groans, I look at the writers' places of residence. As I was doing so
Sunday, I read Warner Robins; Macon; Wyndam, Maine; Kathleen and
Dublin. Wyndam, Maine? I wondered why would The Telegraph publish a
letter from someone in Maine?

I reread the guidelines for getting a letter printed and among them
is: "Priority will be given to letters that address contemporary local
issues and have wide community interest." I wasn't aware that
legalizing marijuana was such a burning local issue. I don't recall
reading many stories in the paper nor letters in Viewpoints addressing
this subject.

So why did Viewpoints choose to print a letter from a resident of
Wyndam, Maine on the (apparently) contemporary local issue of
legalizing marijuana? I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like
to know.
