Help with helpers

[eluser]gmask[/eluser]
Alright so I have this simple db query:

Code:

// Get global settings
$query = $this->db->get('settings');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
       $row = $query->row_array();
       $settings['site_title'] = $row['title'];
       $settings['site_tagline'] = $row['tagline'];
       $settings['site_location'] = $row['location'];
       $settings['site_comments'] = $row['comments_enable'];
}

Because this information is going to be called in most of my functions, and every single one of my views, I want to stop repeating myself. How can I put it into a helper (if that's even what I should do) to make it so I don't have to repeat the code for all of my functions (which then pass it to the view)?
