EPHRATA — The students at St. Rose of Lima Catholic School in Ephrata were the winners Saturday evening, as the school’s annual fundraiser banquet and auction brought in more than expected. “The great thing about this dinner is that you are going to lose weight,” Bishop Joseph Tyson, who proudly proclaimed himself a native of Moses Lake, told the crowd. “You’re going to eat as much as you want, and you’re going to lose weight because you’re going to leave your wallets on the table.”
