Don't even know where to look...? Thus, no idea.

Helpers generally assist by providing specific functions to use throughout your application, They aren't meant to be used to load CI objects.

wiredesignz is right - helpers aren't "meant" to access models, but they can through the CI singleton/controller like so:
Code:
function my_helper_function()
{
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->model('mymodel');
$var = $CI->mymodel->whatever();

I hesitated to post something like that ucant, my reason is that the CI super object is still being used to load the model (as you said), so it may as well be done properly from the controller or even autoloaded.
It's just a matter of thinking the process through when building an application. (Do I really wan't to do this here?, is there a better way?)

If you post the code, I can diagnose the issue, otherwise there's not much more I can do I'm afraid.
