If you look in /etc/ntp.conf you should see that, that is a reference to the
local clock. You shouldn't need to use the local clock if you are referencing
Internet time servers, so can delete that one, as well as commenting out the
local time server, and fudge in /etc/ntp.conf.
for what it's worth, there was a lot of stuff setup in /etc/ntp.conf that
wasn't necessary for a home user. All I have now are 3 stratum 2 servers,
which I have selected myself, under the "Our Timeservers" section, and the
driftfile in /var/lib/ntp/drift.
