The success of Karate Kid II bodes well for The Last Electric Knight, based on a Disney Sunday movie from last year’s season about a 10-year-old karate whiz and his adoptive detective father. But the show faces an enemy tougher than Bruce Lee — two hit shows on com peting networks. NBC's Miami Vice and CBS's Dallas will both be broadcast in the middle of prime time on Friday nights this season, leaving little audience for a new show such as Electric Knight. William Dial, executive network scheduling, saying safdonically: “We were not consulted. “In fact, we were misled. We were told NBC would be running Belgium: A Second Look and CBS. had At Home with Caspar Weinberger.” ABC faces an uphill fight in most time slots this season after another third-place finish in 1985-86. And, as Dial notes, there is nothing for the network to do but counter. program — look for an ignored segment of the aud ience — and hope for hits. Children and families are the target audience for The Last Electric Knight, which has been purchased by CBC and scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesdays, and if anybody ean reach that segment it's Disney. Another thing the series has going for it is Gil Gerard, a likeable actor who plays the} role of Jake Pizzo, the shambling bachelor police detective who became the adoptive father of a boy named Ernie in last season's movie. Ernie is played by Ernie Reyes, who uses his real-life abilities as a karate expert to help Rizzo. Dial says the series will try to avoid a case-of-the-week formula and concentrate on the relationship between Ernie and Rizzo, and be tween Rizzo and Patricia Blake, a social worker as signed to watch Ernie's pro gress. Gerard, married to Connie Selleca of ABC's Hotel, may be gentle and homey enough to build an audience for the show so it can be moved to _4 HOT TUB WEEKEND!! Friday, Aug. .

During a recent interview in Los Angeles, he appearéd td be genuinely interested in fam ily affairs and the quiet life Active in charities and the Special Olympics, Gerard is raising a family with Selleca and says playing a father on TV comes naturally. ‘ ie is one of the nicest boys I've ever met and in some ways, he's the father,” he said. “Like my own son, he teaches me how to be a father every day, even when to be tough and unpopular with him.” Gerard says he often re turns to his native Arkansas to enjoy a cottage he owns and to share the company of old friends, who are not par. ticularly impressed by being around a Hollywood actor “My friends back there keep me under control.” Bald is beautiful NEW YORK (AP) — Wo man's Day has discovered there is baldness after Telly Savalas and has selected Mr. T and Willard Scott as among the five cutest American baldies Although Savalas and the late Yul Brynner “probably belong in the hall of fame, there’s a whole new crop of balding sex symbols,” the magazine reports The others are Sean Con nery, actor Ed Harris who starred in The Right Stuff and. Jack Nicholson, partly for his role in Terms of En dearment as “the sexiest man in America with a belly.” Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 NATALIE COLE BACK ON TRACK AFTER DRUGS NEW YORK (AP) — Of all her late father's musical classics, Natalie Cole prefers Mona Lisa, the siren with the beautiful eyes, easy smile and shy nature. “I never knew she wasn't real until I got older,” says Cole. “I always wanted to meet her. Now I think she exists. Maybe, she reminds me of me.” By her own admission, the 36-year-old daughter of legendary crooner Nat King Cole is difficult to read from the outside. “People think they know me, but they don’t,” she says. “They don’t see a shy person on stage, but as I get older, I'm really different from that person on stage. In a recent interview, Cole spoke about the immaturity and recklessness that led to two bouts with cocaine-and-alcohol addiction, the second one ending with six months at Minnesota's Hazelden Foundation. “T've only been sober three years.” Cole says. “It's difficult to believe that I ever did those things, but.I did. It’s a very stark reality what drugs and alcohol can do. They turn you into another person.” Cole says the drug-related deaths of athletes Len Bias and Don Rogers made her think of her own reprieve. “I said, ‘Why didn’t that happen to me?” So it's important that I talk about it and don't act like nothing happened. I think I have something to offer musically and as a human being. “I'm comfortable knowing I came through the fire.” CALIFORNIA GIRL Growing up in California, Cole went to concerts and musicals with her family. “I don't remember Daddy sitting down and singing to us, except for some crazy songs and children’s songs,” she says. “One time he sang Ain't She Sweet.” She became most aware of her father's popularity from adoring autograph seekers but didn't appreciate sharing her father with the world. “But not like my son (he's now 8) who gets real upset. when people ask for autographs.” In her early years, Cole was a tomboy. She and her father shared a love of golf and his sports car. Cole says their bond was only beginning to develop into “a real father-daughter relationship,” when he died of lung cancer in 1965. She was 15. Cole was not considering a music career when she enrolled at the University of Massachusetts and majored in psychology. She intended to go to medical scheol, until she started singing in Massachusetts night clubs. Dr. Natalie Cole could wait. FAME COMES SOON Success came quickly, too quickly, she says, with her first album, Inseparable, which won two Grammys. She became heavily involved in drugs and alcohol. “It was peer pressure and too much success that brought a heady feeling that-I could do anything,” she says. “I lost perspective.” Her first rehabilitation didn’t stick. “People gave me all sorts of advice, but you don't get well from the preaching. I had to want to do it for myself.” That came when psychiatrists at Hazelden made her understand that drugs would kill her — a message she now delivers in anti-drug programs. “With kids, it's so difficult to convince them,” she says. “You've got to give them a lot of rope, love and discipline. You have to let them experience life. All you can do is pray for the child, be an example as a parent, and hope the child will see the light.” Cable 10 TV TASTE CABLE TV ‘Thursday, Aug. 21 5:30 — Sign-on and program information. 5:32—Expo Update — Wen dy Brunelle explains how to find your way around the Expo site through color coded symbols, what to do with your pets while there and provides a glimpse of the Second City réview entertain. ing the crowds. 6:00—Valdy in Concert — Valdy performed at St. Mary's Hall in Nel son, April 24, 1983.

(AP) — Four of the injured were taken to hospitals, where one was listed in critical and about 200 Sinhalese. fice said Sherrill was carrying at least three handguns when he entered the post office through an employees entrance around 6:45 a.m. and opened fire. Normally, there would be 90 postal workers in the building at that hour, officials said. Vince Furlong, an eight-year employee of the post office, said he was working at a postal tray at his station when he heard a noise like a firecracker. “I looked down under my tray and saw one of my good friends hit the floor with blood coming out of him,” Furlong said. He added the gunman had locked some of the doors to the post office. Ron Blackwell, a carrier, said the shots sounded like postal trays falling. “My first thought was someone had dropped a tray; then somebody said, He's got a gun,’ and everyone started running out.” ‘STARTED RUNNING’ He said there were about 80 people in the post office when the shooting began and people “just started running.” Hostage negotiators tried to talk to the gunman, but he refused to answer the telephone. District Attorney Bob Macy said bodies, spent cart- ridges and empty bullet clips were scattered throughout the building. “T've never seen a crime scene like this; I've never seen this volume,” he said. Macy, who described Sherrill as an expert marksman, said the man used at least two guns, but the district attorney could not say what kind they were. “There were people shot all through that building, which would indicate that he was going through the entire area.” Macy said most of the dead were found close to what appeared to be their work stations. CRITICALLY WOUNDED Mercy Health Centre spokesman Jill McDonald identified the two critically wounded men as Gene Bray, 54, of Oklahoma City, and Steve Vick, 24, of Edmond. McDonald said Bray was shot in the left flank and Vick has been shot in the abdomen. Michael Bigler, 36, of Choetaw suffered superficial wounds but was being kept at the hospital for observation, she said. At Edmond Memorial Hospital, spokesman Deniece Cunningham said William Nimmo, 40, of Edmond was in surgery for a stomach wound and was in stable condition. Postal employees who came out of the building told reporters a man entered the post office and began firing at people in line. Edmond is a city of 34,000 people about 25 kilometres north of Oklahoma City. In the San Ysidro massacre, 21 people died and 20 were wounded when unemployed security guard James Oliver Huberty entered the restaurant with three weapons and a bag of ammunition and fired indis- criminately for 77 minutes before he was killed by a police sharpshooter. In the months following, the McDonalds’ Corp. razed the restaurant and opened a new one three blocks away. The land under the old restaurant, donated to the city, has remained vacant. whose group represents Tot's body found PARKSVILLE, B.C.

Change hinted-in immigration policy OTTAWA (CP) — Junior immigration minister Gerry Weiner said Tuesday he wants to dismantle Canada's policy of not deporting people to countries like Sri Lanka which produce a lot of refugees. He hinted at a news conference he wants the policy changed so he can deport any of the 155 Sri Lankan refugee claimants who fail security and criminal checks.

Radio Bremen has reported that some of the Sri Lankans who left West Germany on June 26 and were smuggled to Canada belong to the Tamil Tigers, one of the rebel groups fighting in Sri Lanka. German officials said they could not confirm the radio report. “Anybody with a serious criminal problem, if I have serious criminal concerns, I will remove even to Columbo (the capital of Sri Lanka) if that's what is indicated,” Weiner said. But until the policy is changed, the Sri Lankans who arrived by lifeboat last week off the coast of Newfoundland cannot be deported because Sri Lanka is on the list of 19 countries Canada will not deport to. Immigration officials are reviewing the list at Weiner’s request. Since the Sri Lankans arrived, there has been strong public reaction against allowing them to stay. Many people, including Conservative MPs, are incensed that they initially lied by saying they had begun their voyage in India, not ge COMMUNITY Bulletin Board 10 a.m. until August 22 ST.
