Handle decompositions using only 1-handles
The second statement ought to be in the literature somewhere but I don't know a reference so I'll give an argument.
The result can be rephrased in terms of graphs. Let $S$ be a compact connected sur …

Homotopy versus path-homotopy on punctured surface
The special feature of $X$, a sphere with three or more punctures, that is being used here is that the space $E(X)$ of all homotopy equivalences $X\to X$ has $\pi_1 E(X)=0$. (Here we take the identity …
