An investigative coworker (Todd) found this that explains a method of translating a given Calendar object into a GMT Timestamp. Likewise, retrieving the date in a specific locale can be achieved through ResultSet.getTimestamp the Timestamp can be localized. Now that all of the code for *doing* this is already in place it'd be a mighty pain to rip it out and refactor.
Implementing the above is a great option if you need a blanket solution. Frankly, I agree with Todd that we should be storing everything in GMT anyway. At this point in the game that's not feasible and we need specific GMT/Localizable functionality on only a few specific columns. Future situations may present alternative necessities.
