this is because the init scripts use some fancy options to set colors. This seems to be done by stty, which won't work on a fake tty like the one used by cron. I don't know why you're restarting openntpd from cron every hour though, as it's a daemon that keeps running all the time. Restarting it has no use.
Maybe you want ntpdate instead of ntp. It's not daemon and it sysnchronizes clock everytime it's run.
